Leadbeater's Possum Detection Report – 345-504-0005 'Starlings Gap'
VicForests' scheduled logging coupe 345-504-0005 was investigated with the use of a remote motion- sensor camera trap (RMSCT) to assess the presence/absence of the critically endangered Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri).
This report shows that a Leadbeater's Possum (LbP) individual was identified during this survey. This investigation concludes that VicForests have scheduled logging operations within an area of forest currently inhabited by the LbP and that this area must now be protected in a Special Protection Zone.
