NSW second - largest national park created to protect koalas

The New South Wales government has established the state's second-largest national park, spanning an area from Coffs Harbour to Kempsey. The protected zone was created following years of dedicated campaigning aimed at safeguarding local koala populations and preserving their natural habitat.

This conservation milestone significantly expands protected land in the region, addressing longstanding environmental concerns regarding the survival and habitat degradation of koalas in New South Wales.
