Quality Homes for Koala-kind

PrimaryYear 1 - 6ScienceBiologyEnvironmentalBiodiversityConservation

Go to

In 2022, koalas on Australia’s east coast were officially listed as endangered after a dramatic population decline. Habitat destruction, climate change and extreme weather events, including bushfires and floods, have significantly impacted koalas.

These lessons have been created in partnership with WWF-Australia and made possible thanks to its proud partner, Australia Post. As one of Australia’s most trusted conservation organisations, WWF works tirelessly to turn this tragedy around. Australia Post will join them in their mission to double koala numbers across eastern Australia by 2050.
