About Friends of the Koala
The volunteer organization – which students visit during the Australian Environment, Wildlife and Conservation course – is dedicated to conserving koalas and preserving their habitat through rescue and rehabilitation, protecting and enhancing koala habitats, educating the community and more. Due to ongoing drought and bushfires, the organization is currently handling an influx of koalas needing care and rely on donations to continue their work.
