NSW Governments plan to conserve Koalas is criticised by environmental group.

An environmental organisation has raised concerns over the New South Wales governments $45 million intervention package to protect the threatened koala population 

The Nature Conservation Council of NSW has welcomed the move but believes it falls short of a comprehensive plan and does not tackle the biggest threat to koalas being habitat loss.

CEO of the Nature Conservation Council Kate Smolski says, while introductions of hospitals is positive it would be better to ensure the safety of koala habitat.
