Save our Koalas:

In 2022, the Koala was offically listed as an endangered species. Unfortunately, this listing was completely preventable.

Recent studies indicate the koala will become extinct in New South Wales before 2050 – unless rapid and effective action is taken. Our Koala population face several threats:

Removal of habitat is the single biggest threat to the koala population, as well as all other native wildlife in Australia

The vast majority of this loss of vegetation occurs as a result of urban development, agriculture, mining and the expansion of existing infrastructure.

There is a saying “death by a thousand cuts” where every single eucalypt tree removed may in itself seem insignificant but as this occurs on a daily basis in locations where koalas live, little by little these important trees are gone from a koala’s home range.

An individual adult male coastal koala occupies up to 100 hectares; an area he occupies for life.

Koalas live in a social hierarchy with higher-ranking animals occupying the best locations and lower-ranking koalas occupying lower quality habitats.
