Urgent Request: Please Help Save Our Koalas

Writer's picture: Gregory AndrewsGregory Andrews

Koalas are more than just a national treasure, they’re a symbol of Australia’s unique and precious biodiversity. I remember fondly listening to stories about Blinky Bill as a kid.


But our beloved marsupials are in crisis. The Australian Conservation Foundation has just released a scientific assessment which shows the Albanese Government trippled approvals of koala habitat destruction in 2024. This is on top of all the other threats our koalas face - like bushfires, climate change, chlamydia, dog attacks, and being hit by cars. Habitat destruction is an unnecessary threat that's pushing our koalas to the brink.


Koalas are cited by international tourists as a top reason for visting Australia. But the science shows they could become extinct within my lifetime if things don't change. So they're much more than just a cultural icon. Economically, culturally, and morally, Australia can’t afford to let koalas become a memory of the past.


The Australian Conservation Foundation is urging all of us to stand up for these iconic animals. I fully support and have signed its pledge. By joining this initiative, you can show your commitment to vote at the next election for leaders who will take real action to protect koalas and the forests they call home. Koalas aren't politically Left Wing or Right Wing. They're just koalas. And they need habitat and good science to protect them.


👉🏽 Please follow this link and take the pledge now: Save the Koala – ACF Election Pledge.


Koalas shouldn't have to struggle with bulldozers and climate disasters. Your voice and help them. Please, help send a message now.
