BellingenNSW<p>April school holiday season in NSW is also koala breeding season.</p><p>Car crash stats from the Northern Rivers:<br>"From May 2023 to May 2024, 71 koalas were hit by vehicles, of which just 13 were rehabilitated and released back to the wild. Unfortunately, 80% of koalas hit by vehicles last year did not survive the impact. Our statistics show that there has been a 15% increase in the number of koalas admitted to our Northern Rivers Koala Hospital as a result of car strikes than the previous year. In a single week in 2023 six koalas died from vehicle strikes and from June to December 2022, Friends of the Koala, were called to 42 car strikes across the Northern Rivers region. This is devastating." </p><p>"Urban environments are stressful and disorienting for koalas.

We should instead be discussing taking away both the license AND the car of anyone who drives dangerously.</p><p>This is personal for me. I won't go into detail because I try to keep my Mastodon account anonymous, but I will say that someone I'm close to was horrifically damaged by a driver who wasn't obeying traffic laws.
