KOALAS, IT'S THE
FIGHT OF
THEIR LIVES
|
Last Friday we launched a campaign to fight
for the future of the adorable koala. Since then, thousands have joined
the cause. Will you help?
These iconic Australian animals are being driven from their homes – and
to extinction – by reckless and excessive tree-clearing.
In Queensland and New South Wales, laws have been overturned that protect
the few remaining safe koala habitats. The bush that koalas call home is
being bulldozed so excessively that in several areas this iconic species
is already locally extinct.
Queensland’s Koala
Coast has already lost 80% of its koala population. And it’s going to get
even worse if we don’t act.
We have a window right now to push for change for a better future for
koalas in Queensland. That’s why today, Endangered Species Day, we’re
asking for your help by sending a KIMBY.
KIMBY, which stands for Koala In My Backyard, is a virtual origami koala
that will carry your message of hope to 12 key Queensland
representatives, who have the ability to make change on this issue.
Your personalised KIMBY will join a community of thousands
showing Queensland’s parliament that we all want stronger laws to protect
trees to keep our shared backyard safe for koalas and all other native
wildlife.
