Threatened Species Habitat Restoration at Peak Crossing

The Green Army will work cooperatively with Queensland Trust for Nature volunteers, staff, University of Queensland Koala Ecology Group and the community to restore and monitor koala and brush-tailed rock-wallaby habitat on private land in Ipswich and Scenic Rim Local Governments areas. There are three main objectives of the project:1. To restore core habitat through removing weeds and planting trees to improve access to food trees and allow for increased fauna movement across the landscape. 2. To conduct a wildlife and pest survey, assessment and management project to reduce the threat of dogs, foxes and cats. 3. To raise awareness within the community about the threats and habitat needs of koalas, brush-tailed rock-wallabies through two community field events.

绿色军团（Green Army）将与昆士兰自然信托（Queensland Trust for Nature）的志愿者、工作人员、昆士兰大学考拉生态研究组（University of Queensland Koala Ecology Group）及社区各方开展协作，对伊普斯维奇（Ipswich）与风景岭（Scenic Rim）地方政府辖区内私人土地上的考拉与帚尾岩袋鼠（brush-tailed rock-wallaby）栖息地进行修复与监测。本项目设有三大核心目标：1. 通过清除杂草、栽植树木修复核心栖息地，改善野生动物对取食树木的可及性，提升其在景观范围内的移动能力；2. 开展野生动物与有害生物调查、评估及治理项目，以降低犬、狐狸与猫带来的生存威胁；3. 依托两场社区实地活动，向社区公众普及考拉与帚尾岩袋鼠所面临的生存威胁及栖息地需求相关知识，提升公众保护意识。
