Koalas in the landscape (KITL1.0) modelling for NSW

__Koalas in the landscape (KITL1.0)__ enhances the prioritisation of landscape conservation actions for the Koala Strategy. It measures and forecasts the statewide status and trends in population persistence and habitat carrying capacity, considering future climate change based on NARCliM1.0 climate models. The risk of future clearing of koala habitat is not part of the model. The model projects how the current pattern of native vegetation is able to support koalas into future climate.\r\n\r\nSpatial data identifies candidate areas for the establishment and enhancement of habitats that are capable of supporting koalas into the future. The project also identifies where translocating koalas into currently unoccupied regions has a higher likelihood of success.\r\nFor further detail refer to the KITL1.0 project technical report .\r\n\r\nKITL2.0 is currently under development. It also uses NARCliM1.0 climate models. Future versions of KITL will make use of updated climate and other input data, as it becomes available.\r\n\r\n
