   Interesting ... an innovative approach to the problem.  But surely   
   it's an over-engineered solution, requiring everyone shift their   
   clocks for a *potential* reduction in koala deaths?  How about   
   reducing speed limits in koala zones?   
      
   Was just reading most vertebrate species will be gone in another   
   decade or two, thanks to humans, anyway.
