Koalas in the wild need your help. They are mainly under threat from habitat loss and by joining the Adopt a Koala Programme you can help ensure these beautiful animals are here to stay.

When you join the adoption programme for AUD20.00 a month you receive a welcome letter, a beautiful A4 photograph of your koala, a personalised certificate and a supporter's card and regular updates of your koala's progress.

And the best news! In Queensland (only) you can even visit your koala and have a cuddle! Koalas are one of the few wild animals up for adoption worldwide that you can meet for a real "up close and personal" encounter.

These gorgeous adoptable koalas live safely in Sanctuaries and act as noble ambassadors for their mates in the Australian bush. You can adopt a wild koala if you prefer.

It's easy to join up. Visit the online gallery of furry faces and choose your favourite koala. Just complete the form on their website from anywhere in the world or, if you are within Australia, you can phone them.
