Blue Mountains koala colony may avoid the worst of climate change, researchers say

The Blue Mountains koala colony is increasing in importance.

A koala colony in the New South Wales Blue Mountains will become one of the most important in the country due to climate change, according to researchers.

The marsupial's population size in Wollemi and Kanangra-Boyd National Park is not known but is believed to have risen in the past decade, despite the species struggling nationally.
