Saving Kooalas Habitat

Decent Essays

The Australian government have allocated $15 million to buy new habitats or to rehabilitate existing sites for koala habitats outside the urban footprint.

These foundations have introduced tree protection as one of their measures to save koalas because koalas rely on trees to live
