September is Save a Koala Month!
Each koala’s “home” is made up of several trees called “home trees.” They visit these same trees regularly, marking the area called the koala’s “home range.” Habitat loss is the greatest problem facing koalas, as a result of land-clearing, bushfire and diseases affecting eucalypts. Eighty percent of their habitats have already disappeared. The Australian Koala Foundation estimates that as a result of this loss, around 4,000 koalas are killed each year by dogs and cars.
