Kosciuszko Heritage has received a clipping from the newspaper Trafalgar News (from Gippsland) about the Strzelecki koala.
The clipping was sent by Lidia Legun. The newspaper writes (on 07/04/2015) that a student, Faye Wedrowicz, will give a talk about the genetics of the Strzelecki koala. Wedrowicz is doing her PhD on the subject.
“From this short snippet of press we have two exciting pieces of news: first, that there is something officially called the Strzelecki Koala; second, that this cute create is being studied by a scientist of Polish origin,” said Ernestyna Skurjat-Kozek, the president of Kosciuszko Heritage.
“So, the Strzelecki Koala: it’s a perfect coupling with the (protected) variety of eucalyptus called the Strzelecki Gum.”
