The Turner Family Foundation’s support of koala conservation efforts has been recognised with our Hidden Vale Wildlife Centre taking out the 2023 Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA) Conservation Project Award – Small Institution.
This award acknowledges the incredible work of our koala project team, and our important partnership with The University of Queensland.
The project included tracking and monitoring the number and health of the koala population at Hidden Vale. It has led to the development of refined research techniques now used elsewhere to support koala conservation efforts.
