NSW government rejected expert advice before failed koala reintroduction that left more than half dead

The New South Wales government's decision to ignore expert advice during a koala reintroduction project has resulted in a tragic outcome, with over half of the koalas dying. This situation highlights a concerning level of negligence from the state environment department, as pointed out by Greens spokesperson Sue Higginson, who described their actions as having 'reckless indifference' towards the welfare of these animals. This failure not only raises questions about the government's commitment to wildlife conservation but also underscores the importance of adhering to scientific guidance in environmental initiatives.
