In this divided koala industry to go forward, we all need to understand what's stopping us from getting there. Because sitting back and watching different koala groups trying to save their local koalas, their rural environment or the value of their land. This can send a negative message to the broader community and particularly when there isn't a strategy of instructional plan in the first place. To most people's surprise, koalas can live in an artificial world. Once you can identify their dietary behaviour, it's simply a question of monitoring their house (environment) needs, and with that, the infrastructure to support that. This means having more troops on the ground.

Now I'm not saying that we should have every koala in an artificial environment, because that would go against my long-term plan of Diversification. For the koala to survive into the 22nd century, we need to diversify, firstly, in the way society views and understands the koala, then, by implementation and practice, and then by sharing the environment harmoniously. Similar to how many communities live in metropolitan apartments or rural houses, so can the koala. They can live in cities, urban sprawl, or small-to-large country areas including what's the normal in the Australian outback. Now I understand that local, state and federal governments are trying, to do what's they think is best, and who can blame them when the information they receive is limited.

To get the most out of the koala, new national legislation should be widely adopted, and should include:
1. Combining natural resources to fit and adapt to commercial structures;
2. Prioritising nature and natural resources, which includes native wildlife and native habitats;
3. Combining these major requirements to allow for the growth of a nation, and work together for the betterment of a future of society, where current actions don't harm the future outcomes.

To do this we need firstly to roll-out an overall vision to suit the growing needs of the Australian population and to protect the koala and native wildlife into the future. The best outcome would be a platform where land is available (a blank canvas) which would allow us to develop such a concept. A protype of a concept to be developed to see how it would work in real-world conditions. This would require a pilot program for some accountability. Such accountability would trickle down to everyday residents and the public. We need a balance; at first humans will have to endure certain restrictions on their movement in order to protect nature. After a restructuring of behaviour – in time these behaviour changes will soon be forgotten, once society's behaviour falls in-line with our natural surroundings, which will reduce stress and social anxiety, increase fitness, and allow humanity to surround ourselves with the colours of nature. This would be similar to the many restrictions that we have placed on the natural world.

Humankind reigns supreme in nature, and we need to design a system where our native resources can contribute to society in a positive and commercial way. For our citizens, we can motivate them and educate them and give them a sense of purpose that will be passed on through generations as well as through different levels of government and LIVING STANDARDS.
This form of society combines long-term vision with best practice to prevent a similar event occurring as the catastrophe of the koala cull in Victoria in 2014 (where the government hid the fact that 700-800 koalas were culled) See: Articles17-21 (what the Funk).

If we had a legislation and processes in place, process, with a clear outline of responsibilities and guidelines for each institution (meaning the role of the conservation groups and their work with captive management groups each understands their responsibility and duty), this would allow for an overall vision for the Australian people and finally create that holistic approach.
But, we are in denial. Our society is fragmented, and we cannot look beyond ourselves to see this. Everyone is trying to be the HERO of the KOALA STORY, and yet, overall, we have lost the battle, either by hiding behind a desk, or prioritising and relying too much on academia over real-world expertise, or prioritising short term profit over long term profit. This needs to be balanced out- before going forward!
Our own egos and stubbornness are stopping us from moving forward. The one thing I've learnt is that there is a conflict within our own psyche, and these manifests in our daily lives and all around us. I'm no different to the society I belong in.

There is a certain amount of support and resistance in all of us. This is how we evolved – with a constant inner-battle taking place. So, let's acknowledge our uniqueness and all the different ways we can solve a problem. But first, we need to look at all the support and resistance lines that exist today and work on that.
Major conservationist groups serve a purpose that's no different to commercial groups who create a platform for tourism. Smaller wildlife parks/refuge centres supporting the local communities also have a similar purpose. These organisations all need to continue adding pressure to themselves to find ways to complete and add new versions to their story. All these different groups come together under one plan and a holistic approach, where there can be responsibilities and guidelines for each to have their own autonomy. Commerce will be the deciding factor (whether they are strong enough to continue or are destined to be taken-over by a stronger competitor). Just like the nature order of selection in the animal and plant kingdom, we should design a holistic platform where the guidelines are set, and allow different minds to compete in the order for the health of a better environment.

At the beginning all the competition will be concentrated under the three forms of government, who must come together to share responsibilities to maintain ONE PLAN. However, we need to address their conflict, and show the level of disconnect, because everybody will fight for dominance BELOW THE HORIZONTAL LINE.
We can identify today's support and resistance pressure lines (and the different forms and institutions which are mentioned in article 6 "Different Approaches Part-2") as these are our fragmented institutions today.

For example: Below is a visual aid in the way things should be set-up and in a way it is, but it's all over the shop. Everyone is stepping on each other feet. In terms of the amount of disconnect between states, there should BE more constant from State to State, whereby- they are support from the Federal Gov, as they should have an over-all vision- where commerce can fit in, and that's where councils can support businesses.   

1. All the major conservation groups;
2. All the major commerce groups;
3. All the smaller local refuge koala groups with the local wildlife parks;

This leaves Port Macquarie hospital under the banner of conservation group; they are turning a corner towards a more commercial practice, but still are a non-profit conservation group, though they are raking in the money as a for-profit enterprise and practicing like a commercial entity. To sort this mess out, you need to see how things are set-up in the currently format. Again, by looking more closely at the captive sector which we have in previous articles 27-30. Now, it's time to look at the conservation set-up. By streamlining this process, we will allow for more creativity to be injected into the industry. Just like the invention of the mobile phone and personal computers, creativity is a key ingredient to support businesses in the long run. And all of society wins from this as well.

The three components of our government set-up should merge together, under one big vision dividing up responsibility according to the guidelines set-out by our governmental bodies. Too move forward into the future we need to look closely, of all the major and minor conservation groups, to see their strengths and weakness, such as Port Macquarie koala Hospital. For this to happen a different type of line needs to be drawn, a vertical line,The confusing part of this process still needs to be unpacked to reveal all the layers like an onion. There's is a lack of information and formal process to mould groups together. An example of this deficit can be seen at Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. THIS COULD BE A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME: A program that would support the koala and other native animals, allowing koalas to live their lives freely while society enjoys their presence. But for this to happen we need to dissect each of the following groups and see how they are run, and to create some format by joining or continuing what has already begun in Port Macquarie.

The three components of our government set-up should merge together, under one big vision dividing up responsibility according to the guidelines set-out by our governmental bodies. They could collaborate with other smaller koala groups (for example, groups along Putty Putty road), linking their success to them. They could continue this toward the Hawkesbury Region and then into the Blue Mountains, and down towards the Campbelltown koalas. There's no point having Port Macquarie separately enjoy the riches on their own without allowing for expansion along the way. In an even bigger commercial structure they could use wildlife corridors, as that link to link - the wildlife corridors can be the green roads of the future. This way Port Macquarie can conduct their commercial structure their way under a new legislations Gove by all three governmental departments and have a boundary of Port Macquarie responsibly and where the next operation institution starts and ends.
