Design and analysis of helicopter surveys of kangaroo populations in the South East Tablelands kangaroo management zone 2020

Helicopter surveys for kangaroos were conducted using line transect sampling in the seven survey blocks that make up the South East Tablelands kangaroo management zone. The density and abundance estimates derived from the results of these surveys were intended to be used to assess the possible impact on eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) population of the bushfires that occurred in the summer of 2019-2020 within parts of this management zone.
