Ballarat Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (BWRAC) has launched its 2026 Citizen Science Project, developed to map our local koala population and their corridor of movement through intel from our community.  

Supported by a Community Grant from the City of Ballarat, the project is the first step in a much larger conservation effort to protect our koala population and restore their habitats.  

Current BWRAC Ballarat Koala research has demonstrated that koalas in our region are under threat from habitat loss, vehicle strikes, dog attacks and disease.
