Yesterday was Wild Koala Day - 3 May 2024
Wildlife enthusiasts, conservationists, and koala lovers around the world came together to celebrate International Wild Koala Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about these iconic marsupials and the challenges they face in the wild.
Wild Koala Day was started in 2016 by a network of independent koala conservation and rehabilitation groups all over Australia. Most of the groups involved with Wild Koala Day have been advocating for koalas for many years, some for decades.
Enthusiasts and conservationists know about tragedy, heartbreak, and feelings of futility. They also know that facing reality, and taking action is the best course. Every time they face a disaster they get back up and keep working for koalas. The disasters might keep coming, but they are not beaten.
Koalas are still here, living wild and free in the Bush where they belong. In some places that would not be the case without the tireless efforts of many good people. All those people can hold their heads up with pride.
When koalas need help, will you be there for them?
