Pixel was released 16 days ago!

This is the part most people don’t see 😭 carers put months of care into these orphans and to have them taken away with something that could be preventable is a killer 💔

🐨💚 LOVE IS IN THE AIR… AND KOALAS ARE ON THE MOVE! 💚🐨

It’s koala breeding season, which means our local koalas are travelling further than usual, crossing roads, moving through backyards and urban areas, and searching for habitat and a mate. 💕

We can all help keep our local koalas safe!

🐨 Slow down and stay alert — especially at dawn, dusk and through the night. A koala can appear on the road when you least expect it.

🐨 Keep dogs safely inside at night — koalas are most active after dark, and encounters with dogs can be deadly.

🐨 Make your fences koala-friendly — simply place a sturdy wooden pole or plank againstyour existing fence to create a safe climbing point and help koalas move between properties.

🐨 Report every koala sighting — including injured or deceased koalas. Every report helps us understand where koalas are moving and where they need protection.

💚 A few simple actions can make a life-saving difference.

If you see a koala in trouble, our rescue team is available 24/7 📞 0401 350 799

Slow down. Keep watch. Give koalas a chance. 🐨🌿
