September is Save a Koala Month!

Each koala&rsquo;s &ldquo;home&rdquo; is made up of several trees called &ldquo;home trees.&rdquo; They visit these same trees regularly, marking the area called the koala&rsquo;s &ldquo;home range.&rdquo; 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.
