Description
Endangered and Alert! This Koala is wide awake, a sight you don't see too often since they sleep most of the time! It's sitting straight up and looking around curiously. it's bottom nicely wedged between the trunks of the Eucalyptus tree!
Koalas can be found in open woodlands in coastal areas of eastern and southern Australia. Koalas are an iconic Australian species. Finally, koalas have been officially listed as an endangered species in Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT! Taken in south-east Queensland, Australia.
Numbers of this beautiful animal are seriously declining and they have finally been listed as endangered in 2022. I am so grateful to live in an area where there are still a few and you can imagine how special it is each time I see one. I am so happy to be able to share my images with you. To help save this beautiful species I have decided that when you buy a print of one of my koala images, I will donate 50% of my proceeds to the Wildlife Warriors' Koala Conservation Project.
