Koalas

Faith — A new estimate reveals that almost 30,000 koalas have died in the Australia fires. For the ones that survive, their natural habitat is being destroyed. Viv knows that puts them in danger of extinction. She wants to see the Australian Government add koalas to the list of endangered species. Will you help the koalas survive? Have the Koala declared an endangered species!

As my home country, Australia, experiences record-breaking drought and bushfires, koala populations have shrunk along with their natural habitat. A third of koalas in Australia's NSW region may have been killed in the deadly bushfires. Please join me and help save the Koala. Deforestation has meant that the koalas were already under threat before the bushfires. Koalas only live in Australia, and rely on eucalyptus trees to survive. But the eucalyptus trees – the koalas' only food source – are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Koalas are in peril but are yet to be listed as an endangered species. Koala populations in the states of New South Wales and Queensland fell 42% between 1990 and 2010, according to the Commonwealth Scientific Committee. Some experts say there will be no Koalas left by 2050!! We are urging the Australian Government to declare the Koala an endangered species immediately.
