BECOME A KOALA CHAMPION

Australia Post and WWF-Australia are working together to protect and restore the homes of Australia’s most loved species, the koala.

Koalas are officially listed as Endangered on the east coast of Australia. Habitat destruction, climate change and extreme weather events, including bushfires and floods, are all having significant impacts on koalas.

Without urgent action, we could lose koalas forever by 2050.

Support koala conservation today and help protect and restore their forest homes.

Meet the Next Generation of Indigenous Conservation Leaders: Djarra Delaney

“The night before I was born, the koalas started calling out from the trees, and were, just really loud. So Mum always thought that they were kind of calling me into the world. Ever since then I really feel like, quite a deep connection with koalas and kind of feel a kinship to them.”
