I always have considered KOALAS as nature's teddy bear and I think they should be respected for that. Their environment should be highly kept the same way.
With all the horrendous wildfires in Australia going on, a lot of wildlife is threatened. There were photos of koalas laying on the bellies with all 4 paws in some sort of gel to soothe their burnt paws. One organization asked for people to knit mittens for koalas and had to stop because they were getting so many from all over the world. Now, they are asking for cotton "pouches" for various marsupials in different sizes for joeys (baby kangaroos), wombats, etc.
sweet animals
