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 Black Mambas

Erica Salvemeni chats with Craig Spencer and Leitah Mkhabela, part of the Black Mambas Anti-Poaching Unit in South Africa. Craig Spencer is the executive director of Trans-Frontier Africa and founder of the Black Mambas, while Leitah Mkhabela is a supervisor and ambassador for the all-female anti-poaching unit. The Black Mambas initiative, started in 2013, employs 36 women from local tribal communities to protect wildlife, particularly rhinos, from poaching.

Featured video

Deadly ocean trash - The impact of ghost nets

Every year, about a million tons of fishing nets are lost or dumped in the sea, known as "ghost nets," causing indiscriminate deaths of marine animals. Synthetic nets, which take up to 600 years to decompose, are a significant part of this problem. Initiatives worldwide attempt to salvage and recycle ghost nets, but the process is expensive and dangerous.
