Koala - Phascolarctos cinereus
The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) or, sometimes inaccurately called, koala bear, is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats. The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.
Featured interview
The native Tule elk population in the Point Reyes National Seashore faces a dire threat to their existence, and conservationists are making an urgent call for assistance.
For decades, these magnificent creatures have been confined within the boundaries of the National Seashore, unable to roam freely. Their very survival now hangs in the balance. Advocates argue that these animals, a symbol of American wildlife, belong to all Americans, and their habitat is maintained with taxpayers' money, giving every citizen a stake in their future.
Featured blog
In a study posted last year, it was found that trophy hunters killed one animal every THREE minutes over the last decade.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has reported we have a decade left to help turn back the clock on preventing even larger scale climate disasters and rewilding of endangered species like the elephant and wolf can help promote healthier ecosystems which results in a healthier planet for you and me.
