Kangaroo Island Wildlife Network volunteers, alongside other local wildlife groups, have rescued numerous injured koalas from logging operations and are urgently calling on the South Australian government to temporarily halt logging activities until a humane, strategic plan can be devised to protect the koalas and other species residing in these trees. Despite reporting the situation to relevant government bodies, there has been no satisfactory response. The surrounding bushland is still recovering from the Black Summer bushfires, unable to accommodate the influx of koalas displaced by the felled plantations. Scientists have highlighted the importance of Kangaroo Island's koalas in potentially saving the species from extinction on the mainland. With volunteers exhausted from their efforts, a petition is circulating, urging support for a temporary pause on logging to prevent further harm to these iconic Australian animals. Please sign the petition to lend your voice to this critical cause.
