Sampling Protocols

These protocols were developed with the support of the NSW Department of Planning Industry and Environment, and with broad consultation.
They are intended to instruct and to facilitate standardised collection of quality material for research to maximise benefits from any interaction with koalas. They are living documents so if you have constructive feedback on the documents please contact damien.higgins@sydney.edu.au
