A podcast about community, planting trees, biodiversity and making a difference in your local area.

In this episode, Aleisha speaks with Linda Barnes and David Mackenzie from Queensland Koala Crusaders, both passionate advocates for koalas. Koalas, classified as endangered in several Australia states, are facing extinction due to a number of threats. Linda and David share some of their personal stories with meeting koalas in the wild and how the reality of their plight galvanized them into action.
While we do discuss the current situation of koalas, this conversation is uplifting and inspiring, as Linda and David share some of the success stories Queensland Koala Crusaders has had, how challenges with data and funding gaps is an opportunity to innovate and broaden perspectives and plenty of ways for you to get involved in koala conservation.
