and collaboration, national governance and monitoring. The vision is that all respective Koala plans and strategies will mutually inform the conservation effort at a national scale.
The recovery plan has been split into the following parts:
       * Part I provides background and policy context for the listed Koala
       * Part II presents the national goal, objectives and six strategies, comprised of 37 actions to recover the listed Koala, and the newly established National Koala Monitoring Program
       * Part III outlines the nationally led implementation approach
       * Part IV details the relationships between drivers, direct threats and ecological threatening processes impacting the listed Koala
       * Part V presents background information on the distribution, population trends, habitat and habitat critical to the survival of the listed Koala
       * Part VI presents an overview of biology and ecology of the Koala important for recovery planning and actions
       * Appendices 1–4 provide further technical information and resource material.
The goal of the recovery plan is to stop the trend of decline in population size of the listed Koala, by having resilient, connected, and genetically healthy metapopulations across its range, and to increase the extent, quality and connectivity of habitat occupied.
To meet this goal, the recovery plan encompasses objectives and actions (Part II) that are multi-faceted and linked at the population level, while recognising the need to manage populations locally because of the heterogeneity of threats across landscapes (Part IV).

Objectives are that by 2032:
    * The area of occupancy and estimated size of populations that are declining, suspected to be declining, or predicted to decline are instead stabilised then increased (Objective 1A).
    * The area of occupancy and estimated size of populations that are suspected and predicted to be stable are maintained or increased (Objective 1B).
    * Metapopulation processes are maintained or improved (Objective 2).
    * Partners, communities and individuals have a greater role and capability in listed Koala monitoring, conservation and management (Objective 3).
Addressing any individual driver, direct threat and associated ecological threatening process alone is unlikely to recover listed Koala populations. Recovery will require a holistic and integrated approach to action (Figure 2; Figure 4, section 8). The three objectives of this recovery plan are underpinned by four supporting strategies and two on-ground (direct) strategies, or action areas, as a way of organising and implementing coordinated action:
    * Build and share knowledge (Strategy 1)
    * Engage and partner with the community in listed Koala conservation (Strategy 2)
    * Increase the area of protected habitat for the listed Koala (Strategy 3)
    * Integrate listed Koala conservation into policy, statutory and land use plans (Strategy 4)
    * Strategically restore listed
