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 made an educational video about Koalas!

My koala is the picture of relaxation, always curled up in a tree, looking completely content with its peaceful, sleepy expression. It’s like it has mastered the art of doing nothing and making it look effortlessly adorable.

My koala is the ultimate napper, clinging to a tree with those big, fluffy ears and a look of pure contentment. It’s like it’s always in a state of bliss, just hanging out and taking life one cozy nap at a time.

Some Koala Appreciation (art by me)
Koalas are amazing animals whose habitats are being devastated by human intervention and climate change. We need to do more before the only Koalas left are those in Zoos.
