HELP SAVE A FURRY TREE HUGGER WITH DOWNLOAD
FORGET chocolate bunnies and make this Easter all about real koalas. One of Australia’s most loved native animals, the koala is officially classified as “endangered” after widespread bushfires, drought, floods and land clearing.
Aussie Ark president Tim Faulkner said the sheer scale and ferocity of the 2019-20 Black Summer fires meant the number of koalas lost would “forever remain unknown”.
“But when you have canopy fires of the intensity that were seen and 80 per cent of koala habitat was burnt, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out a lot of koalas lost their lives and habitat – it’s massive,” Mr Faulkner said.
The animal conservation charity, which is running a treeplanting program, has also teamed with Coles to help save everyone’s favourite tree hugger with a free downloadable children’s book.
The Picky Little Koala tells the story of Kelly the koala’s journey to find the perfect home to fill her fussy, furry little belly.
For every free download between now and April 19, Coles will donate $1 to Aussie Ark’s koala conservation efforts, up to $100,000.
Download your free copy of The Picky Little Koala from Apple Books and soon on Google Play.
