The koala is one of the most recognizable animals in the world and one of the most narrowly specialized. Behind every koala still feeding in wild eucalyptus is a chain of support: wildlife hospitals treating burned and injured animals, disease screening tracking chlamydia through a population, and the tree planting and land covenants that give a released koala somewhere to go.
A symbolic adoption puts your name behind that work.
Your adoption helps support the organizations protecting koalas and the forest they depend on. Australia's wildlife hospitals treat and return thousands of animals, and replanted corridors are already being used by koalas moving between fragments. The situation remains serious. Australia listed the koala as Endangered in Queensland, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory in 2022.
And your adoption gives you something to keep.
You'll receive a personalized adoption certificate and a collectible, numbered species card that tells the story of the animal you're helping protect. At higher adoption levels, you'll also receive a koala plush: a small, tangible reminder of something much bigger.
Because the best gifts don't disappear when they're opened. They spark curiosity. They start conversations. They remind us that an animal asleep in a gum tree in Queensland is part of our world, too. Its future is something all of us can help protect.
Adopt a koala. Help protect its forest. Become part of its story.
Population trend: decreasing. Australia listed the koala as Endangered in Queensland, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory in 2022.
Koalas eat from a narrow list of eucalyptus species and cannot move to the next patch of bush when theirs is cleared.
The fires of 2019 and 2020 burned through a large share of koala habitat, and the trees need decades they have not had.
The infection is widespread in wild populations and causes blindness and infertility, turning a bad year into a long one.
Koalas moving between fragments are hit by cars and attacked by dogs, which is what fills the wildlife hospitals.
Funds from our koala adoptions go to the Wildlife Connect Koala Fund, which supports vetted wildlife sanctuaries and conservation organizations working to protect koalas, their habitats, and the many species that live alongside them.
