the development of proposals.
• Long term effects:- promotion of sustainable
development by ensuring the development
proposals for an enhanced livelihood of
endangered species (McAlpine et al., 2015).

Aims of The South Australian Koala
Conservation and Management Strategy
• Addressing conservation as well as
management issues reading the health and
welfare of Koalas.
• Safeguarding welfare of koalas from threats
like natural disasters bushfires in this case.
