In an Australian first, a group of male koalas from Victoria’s Strzelecki Ranges have made South Australia their home, as part of a unique breeding program aimed at securing the survival of the species.
The koalas have arrived at Cleland Wildlife Park and Adelaide Zoo where they join a group of disease-free male and female koalas, some of which were rescued during the 2020 Kangaroo Island bushfires.
Hear from zoologist Professor Chris Daniels and Director of Wildlife and Conservation with the Department for Environment and Water Lisien Loan as they talk about this unique breeding program.
