Ready to be a koala-spotting hero? The new Koala Spotter app has just launched in the ACT, and it’s time to grab your camera and get spotting!

Since the devastating 2018 bushfires, koalas have been harder to find in the wild around here, making this app a crucial tool for keeping tabs on our fuzzy friends.

Whenever you spot a koala, just whip out the app and jot down what you see—no need to be an expert!

Whether it’s a quick note or a full-on koala photo shoot, your contribution will feed into important research on their population and survival in the region.

The app is available now on the app store as Koala Spotter, so download it today and keep your eyes peeled. And remember—watch out for drop bears!

Hit104.7’s Wilko and Court chatted with CSIRO’s Dr. Andrew Hoskins about how your koala sightings could help protect these cuddly creatures.
