A date with Koala – Health and Conservation

Contributors – Claudio Paroli, Raj Suri

The koala is an Australian icon thay has captured global imagination because of its “baby-like” physical characteristics and its vulnerability, making it a poster child for environmental activism.
After the tragic bushfires of 2019-20, it is now listed as an endangered species in most of Eastern Australia. But many are working to ensure this charming soft and furry marsupial survives and thrives.
Taking the lead in the effort to reverse the trend is the University of Sydney. And its Camden hospital/research facility is at the forefront of this battle.

FCA has organised a day fully devoted to the koala with a visit to a unique wildlife hospital and a koala park to see it in its habitat.
