Stand up for the Bush! - The Countdown Begins for Save the Koala Month in September

Australian Koala Foundation

This September, our organisation is preparing for 30 days of engaging and informative Koala-related activities to help spread awareness of our four decade-long battle to save the flora and fauna of the Australian bush.

Save the Koala Month is our annual worldwide event to share our work with children and adults who are passionate about educating themselves about Koalas and their habitat. We’ve been celebrating this event since 1989 to raise funds for our Foundation’s important work. AKF is one of the very charities that does not take government funding, enabling us to speak freely for the Koala. 

Deborah Tabart OAM, Chair of the Australian Koala Foundation, says:
“Save the Koala Month is all about helping Koalas in fun and friendly ways! Every little action big or small can make a big difference for our furry friends.”

We are calling on all kids and adults to accept the mission at hand - Become a Koala      Guardian this September!

There are numerous ways that both Australians and supporters abroad can get involved in our Save the Koala Month festivities.

-    Planting trees for Koala habitat via the AKF Plant a Tree Program.

-    Support an adult or joey Koala through our Adopt a Koala Program

-    Ordering a donation box for your school, workplace or local shop

-    Hosting fundraisers such as a Koala Cake Stall, Koala Karaoke, Trivia Nights and more

-    Sharing knowledge by educating others about Koala facts

-    Joining the Koala Army to be a voice for change, writing to the Prime Minister or the Environmental Minister, urging them to support the future of our Koalas by enacting the Koala Protection Act.

The Australian Koala Foundation are counting down the days until September — it’s time to stand up and fight for the future of the Australian bush.
