Australia is planning to build the Great Koala National Park, which would be twice the size of the UK's Lake District. This national park would help safeguard around 12,000 koalas and 36,000 Greater Gliders, as well as provide habitat for over 100 other threatened species in the region. The proposed park would combine existing protected areas with state forest, totaling 1,824 square miles.

The NSW government has announced the proposal for the Great Koala National Park, with plans to finalize the project by 2026. The park aims to protect biodiversity hotspots and ensure the survival of koalas and other endangered species. With a temporary moratorium on timber harvesting within the proposed boundary, the park would help address the threats of deforestation and habitat destruction facing Australia's wildlife.
