Help save koalas from extinction.

Koalas are running out of trees and time.  

Tragically, they're at risk of becoming extinct on Australia’s east coast as early as 2050. And then they’ll be gone. 

They urgently need us to plant more food and habitat trees. Because without more of these trees, koalas don’t stand a chance. 

Caring people like you can help give them this hope of survival.  Please help save our beloved koalas. Before it’s too late.

Your gift today can help give koalas like Claude a fighting chance. 

Claude the koala is one of the remaining koalas living in the Northern Rivers region of NSW. 

He is a bit of a local legend. This infamous koala found his way into a plant nursery and ate through thousands of dollars of eucalyptus tree seedlings.  

But this little guy wasn’t greedy. He was hungry. Desperate. So desperate, that he risked everything and came down to the ground to travel in search of gum leaves. In search of trees that simply don’t exist. 

For koalas, the ground is a dangerous place to be.

The path Claude took from his treetop home to the nursery was one fraught with so much danger, it’s amazing he made it there at all. Many koalas that attempt to travel along the ground as Claude did are found mauled by dogs or are hit by cars while crossing the busy roads that divide koala habitat.  

Koalas are desperate. Their lives and existence in east coast states are at risk. They need more trees, now. They need you to help give them a home and combat their hunger.   

Will you please make a gift today, to plant more trees and give koalas a fighting chance for a future? 

You can give our koalas more trees – and time. 

Your gift today:

The future of koalas depends on trees – and your support.

Without planting more trees that create safe havens and pathways, koalas will continue to lose their lives to cars, dogs and other predators.   

The clock is ticking to save the koala. They need your help. Will you please step up now and save our koalas? We simply can’t lose them forever.

You can ensure this incredible and special animal continues to exist peacefully in the treetops of the unique landscapes that our koalas call home.
