The Australian Koala Foundation is reminding supporters across Australia and around the world to mark their calendars, with Save the Koala Month returning this September! Held annually from 1 September to 30 September, Save the Koala Month is one of the Australian Koala Foundation’s most important campaigns, encouraging people to celebrate Koalas while taking meaningful action to protect their future in the wild. Koalas may be one of Australia’s most beloved and recognisable animals, but the AKF know that admiration alone will not secure their future. This September, AKF is inviting individuals, schools, workplaces and community groups to stand for Koalas and the protection of their homes, by getting involved and fundraising in support of Koala conservation – for the benefit of all creatures great and small. 

Fundraising will be a key focus this September, with AKF encouraging supporters to start thinking about how they can take part. Whether through a school event, workplace morning tea, community fundraiser, online donation drive or something creative of their own, every effort helps support the work needed to keep Koalas in the wild. Supporters can also take part by sharing AKF’s educational resources, donating directly, purchasing from the Save the Koala Shop, adopting a Koala or supporting AKF’s Plant-A-Tree program, where trees purchased online are planted at Quinlans, one of AKF’s Environmental Reserves. More details about this year’s Save the Koala Month campaign will be announced soon! For now, AKF is encouraging Australians to save the dates, start thinking about how they can get involved and prepare to do their part this September.
