How did we get here? Many factors contribute to their rapidly dwindling numbers.
First of all, the many heatwaves in Australia are not only killing them by the thousands, but are also causing fires that destroy their habitats. Additional destruction is caused by human activity. Thousands died last year alone due to dehydration.
Koalas are also often the victims of hit and runs because they are very slow moving creatures.
The animals have been listed as ‘vulnerable’ since 2012 in many Australian territories that they call home.
We hope that these beautiful creatures stay in this world for hundreds of years to come, but that means that people need to act to help save their environment! The cuddly koalas are in danger of becoming completely extinct in a matter of years if we don’t act now.

We need these precious fur babies to live for our children and grandchildren to see one day. Every one of God’s creatures is a gift, so please share to help save this one!
