Description: The Known KHICC dataset is a 250m Australia-wide gridded raster dataset that represents the Commonwealth’s landscape view of where koalas or their habitat are likely to persist to 2070. Koala Habitat in a Changing Climate (KHICC) aim to highlight regions that should be prioritised for conservation and recovery of Koalas to increase the long-term persistence potential of the species. Version 1 of the Known KHICC:identifies areas within 10km of a koala observation or state-based habitat modelling that alsohas a predicted probability of containing a feed tree > 0.5 andincludes areas predicted to be suitable for koalas by 2070 climate modellingIncludes Queensland or NSW identified medium to high quality habitat that overlap areas that will be climate suitable to 2070 and within 10km of point observations.All datasets were resampled to a 250m x 250m cell resolution.In 2022, the combined population of koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory were up listed from ‘vulnerable’ to ‘endangered’ under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). This uplisting was based on the Threatened Species Scientific Committee’s assessment that the koala population had declined by more than 50% over three generations. Key threats to koalas are land use change and climate change, as well as habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, disease, and direct impacts from dogs and vehicle strike. Koalas have been identified as one of the 110 priority species under the Threatened Species Action Plan 2022 – 2032 https://www.dcceew.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/threatened-species-action-plan-2022-2032.pdf. A National Recovery Plan has been developed, supporting a coordinated and collaborative approach to koala conservation across the country. A National Recovery Team is also place to help deliver the actions and objectives of the Recovery Plan. The Commonwealth is investing $76 million under the Saving Koalas fund for on-ground actions to support the recovery and long-term conservation of koala and its habitat, and to support the delivery of the Recovery plan.
