Among those increasingly at risk are wild koalas. In fact, the koala population is at risk of being wiped out from these fires — so if you want to help save the koalas in Australia , you need to act now. According to The Telegraph , there are several koala populations that have been completely or significantly exterminated from the wildfires.
This includes the koala population on Kangaroo Island, which was the country's only disease-free population of koalas , per The Guardian. Of course, the most important thing you can do to help save the koalas is to contribute to efforts to end the wildfires in Australia. But there are plenty of organizations working specifically toward koala rehabilitation and care that deserve your attention, if you're especially worried about these adorable animals.
Here are some easy ways to help save the koalas in Australia , even if you live halfway across the globe:. One of the most immediate and important things you can do to help save koalas in Australia is to donate to koala hospitals, wildlife parks, and rehabilitation centers.
There are a number of GoFundMe accounts currently dedicated to this effort — and though many of them have already surpassed their goals, you might want to read about how they're using these funds before you decide not to donate.
For example, the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park is using its extra funds to provide medical aid to injured koalas, and also to build more enclosures so that it can house a greater number of animals as soon as possible. Another great fundraiser is for the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, which is using its surplus of funding to establish a wild koala breeding program, in addition to its regular efforts.
It is not just a commitment to the future of koalas and their forest homes, but a legacy for future generations of Australians to be proud of. Please act urgently to put this plan in place. I'm counting on you to help us protect the koala - you represent the last generation with the chance to do so.
