Koalas need LAND. Rapidly becoming extinct in their most fertile native habitat on the Koala Coast of South East QLD and Northern NSW. People are often shocked to learn the koala is in danger. We hope this little corner of Reddit can highlight this serious issue facing Australia's most recognisable national icon and the natural heritage in which it thrives. Australia holds the shameful title of having the world’s highest mammal extinction rate. We cannot let the koala join that list.

I don't understand why a post of mine in here got removed without me being notified as to the reason it was removed. My post had to do with koalas and I wasn't selling anything nor was I running a fundraiser for anything.
Why is this still happening?

This gorgeous fella was just hanging out really low in a gum tree in the front yard so I had to get a photo. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a wild koala so I was super excited. They’re amazing creatures.
