Like Rose, everyone can help save our koalas! If you live in a koala area you could:
• Keep native gum trees in your yard.
• Ask your parents and friends to drive carefully and watch for wildlife on the roads, especially at night or in low light.
• Keep your dogs and cats inside at night. Even small dogs can hurt koalas and other native animals.
• Ask your parents to build koala-friendly fences.
Or, like Rose, if you discover an issue you could:
• Write letters to politicians and newspapers urging them to make koala conservation a priority. You could even draw up a petition.
• Report koala sightings in your local area.
• Organise a fun run to raise money for research and rehabilitation.
• Start a tree planting program at your school.
