Recruits,

To make Save the Koala Day extra special this year, the team at the Australian Koala Foundation enlisted the help of long-time Koala ambassador and country music sensation Andy Penkow. All too happy to assist, Andy reworked one of his songs “Heavy on Me”, transforming it into an anthem for the Koala and all creatures great and small who need us to stand up and speak for them. The AKF team is incredibly proud and excited today to debut the music video for “Heavy on Me” for Save the Koala Day, which was a collaborative project between Andy and the AKF’s in-house cinematographer, Jon-Michael Mooney.

Andy has been a passionate advocate for Koala conservation and an active ambassador for the AKF for many years, and his involvement has included various initiatives aimed at raising awareness and funds for continued conservation efforts.

The Australian Koala Foundation team is grateful for Andy’s continued support, and can’t get this catchy song out of their heads!
