Rolling in MS-stereo, using sennheisers, 40/30. 9.00am. Interview with Deborah Tabart- Executive Director of the Australian Koala Foundation. Alan in left channel, Deb in right. 01:13 Interview begins A. Tell us, generally speaking, what is the state of the koala nationally. D. The Australian Koala Foundation believes there is probably less than 100,000 in Australia left. I personally feel it is lower than that and the only figure you can really compare it to is that in 1923 3 million koala skins went to market, and we have historical documents that show that maybe three to four times more than that were shot. So its my view that there could have been 12 million or 10 million koalas in Australia in the 1920's and now I think its less than 100,000. And our government doesn't agree with me, or the Foundation, and so I have basically taken the view these days, well show me where they are, and until such time as someone can show me hundreds and thousands of koalas then I'll keep saying what I'm saying. 02:10 A. Is it a problem for you that, in fact, you're talking about an animal that's no easy to see? D. Yes, well that's really interesting, but our science is not based on seeing animals. Our science is based on picking up their poo. So what we do is go into the bush and do systematic checks in the bush, putting down a 40x40 quadrat and then looking at the base of every tree, and say, yes, there're koalas using this because there's poo here, and so we're pretty confident that a lot of our bush is empty. And we have now mapped, by hand, which is an incredible job, some 5million acres where we have done that - where we have measured individual trees. We have something like 60,000 trees that we've measured and over 600 field sites, and its my view the bush is empty. So its not a question of them not being able to see them, it is about not feeling their presence of getting physical evidence of their presence, so I'm very confident. I've been in my job for thirteen years now and I've driven up and down this country, and across it, where koalas should be and I think there are three strongholds: one in Queensland, one in New South Wales and one in Victoria which are away from urbanisation but are under threat from logging or land clearing. So, you know you can't say they're safe, but at least I can sleep at night knowing there's good numbers out there, but that could change overnight with any sort of logging pressure. 04:11 A. What is it that drives you, personally, to do this. D. Well, I've been ask... (Notes truncated)
