The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and the Forestry Corporation are conducting research on koalas on the New South Wales  mid-north coast in forests. They’re fitting 10 koalas with GPS tracking collars in an effort to monitor their movements and stop the serious decline in their numbers.

The researchers are studying the amount of state forest logging that’s affecting the koalas’ movements and assessing if there are enough protection zones put in place. They also are trying to determine how much of the regeneration areas the koalas are using after harvesting and how much of the young trees that follow a harvested area they are using.

Each day from Jan 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018, around 209 vehicles across the U.S. were stolen due to drivers leaving their fobs or keys inside their vehicles which attracted thieves. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) made a report showing during this period of three years, there were 229,339 vehicles stolen this way. This increased by 56 percent since 2015. This increase went up rapidly to 88 percent.
