"Koalas are one of the worst casualties of bushfires. On a normal day, they spend about 18 hours asleep in the fork of a tree and even when fully awake, they are slow-moving creatures with a top speed of only 10 kilometres an hour.
In a fast moving fire front, they are often the first to perish. "
IFAW (Internation Fund for Australian Wildlife) Is asking people to help the Koalas that are rescued with serious burns. If you can sew then this is a great quick project that won't take very long, but will make such a difference to the koalas suffering burns on their paws. If you can't sew, then please pass this link on
