Save the Koala Month is the most important time in the Australian Koala Foundation’s calendar.
Every September, they ask the world to pause and think about our beautiful koalas and the urgent need to protect the bush they call home. This year, they have planned this initiative: 30 Days and 30 Ways to Help Our Favourite Fluffy Friends! This is a challenge for children to complete and it has some good ideas that you could share with your class or children.
Alternately you can just do something special on the 26th September which has been designated Save the Koala Day. This day is celebrated on the last Friday in September every year. The objective of these celebrations is simple — to save the koalas and their natural habitats, and raise awareness to prevent them from going extinct.
I would choose to read this new book because a percentage of its sale price goes to the Australian Koala Foundation.
One Koala; One Hundred Trees by Leesa Allinson; Heather Potter and Mark Jackson
One Koala, One Hundred Trees is a heartwarming tale about one family’s determination to create a safer environment for the koalas living on their property. The story is interspersed with facts about koalas and practical guides for readers wanting to build their own ‘koala corridor’ to help protect one of Australia’s most precious animals.
If you don't have this, there are lots of other book suggestions here and on Pinterest.
