| Abstract | Wildlife populations throughout the world are under pressure as human activities expand into previously natural ecosystems. Human population growth is resulting in the rapid development of sensitive coastal regions that frequently coincide with areas of high biodiversity and significant populations of fauna such as koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus). As a consequence, these wildlife populations are increasingly faced with a range of threats associated with anthropogenic activity. While land clearing for urban development results in direct impacts on wildlife populations through habitat loss, the associated effects, including habitat fragmentation and elevated levels of anthropogenic mortality are indirect, insidious and much more difficult to detect or quantify. |
