Following our request to government for vital support during bushfire season here in Australia, 7News interviewed Friends of the Koala President Aliison Kelly and General Manager Silva Everaers. In the interview both describe the challenges that we (and our koalas) are up against, the impact of recent bushfires and our concerns for what lies ahead this summer.
As a reminder - in 2019/2020 approximately 3 billion animals perished or were displaced and 29 million acres of forest and woodlands were burned. Friends of the Koala are preparing for the fires burning now and what could potentially be a disastrous summer. You can help us save koalas affected by Australian bushfires by donating today, please take a look at our Bushfire Emergency Appeal. friendsofthekoala.org/save-ko...

I'll say this. I feel that every dog owner needs to be accountable for his dog. If the dog chases down and injures a koala, the owner of the dog should be fined heavily and know that if it happens repeatedly, the dog will be taken away and from the owner and fined a heavy penalty. Owners of dogs are very carless and dont care if their dog bites a koala. Also why do brush fires have to happen. Why is it necessary to burn down the habitat where koalas live. This is their home not ours ! The way owners protect dogs is how we should protect koalas !😤🐨 Where can we donate, I'd like to know please. Koalas are my babies and I love them so much❣️ Koas bring love and life 🐨 🌿 💕

Hi Paula. You can donate at the link in the description 🐨 Agree with you about the dog owners but regarding the fires, Australia is the driest inhabited continent on the planet so it’s just the way it is here. The fires start naturally . Just like in the worst fires we had in 2019/2020, hundreds of fires were burning at the same time over months and in one of the islands off the mainland called Kangaroo Island, (where it used to have thousands of koalas who were horrifically burnt in these fires) the fire started from a lightning strike on a eucalyptus tree.
