Copy & Paste and email to the Prime Minister asking for the Koala Protection Act:

 

Dear Prime Minister,

As a member of the Australian Koala Foundation’s Koala Army, I am writing to urgently seek your support for the Koala Protection Act (KPA).

Koala habitat takes up 20% of the Australian continent and is home to millions of creatures great and small. Only a species-specific legislation can ensure Koala protection. The KPA is a solution to prevent further harm and senseless destruction. The question remains, why haven’t you supported it?

The current federal legislation, the EPBC Act, has proven ineffective, as noted in an Independent Review by Professor Graeme Samuel, contributing to the decline in Koala populations. The preservation of Koala habitat is paramount, and the Koala Protection Act is the solution.

The shortcomings of the EPBC Act are evident, with urban development, land clearing, logging, and infrastructure projects encroaching on Koala habitats despite existing provisions. The Koala Protection Act places responsibility on the proponent to prove that their activity is benign. This shift in environmental law will be revolutionary.

You have the power to reshape environmental laws for the better and we ask you to support the Koala Protection Act.

Will you Save the Koala?

Koalas are disappearing. Loss of koala habitat and koala food trees (eucalyptus leaves) is the leading koala threat. Our cuddly koalas are loved around the world. Often called a koala bear, they are actually marsupials not koala bears. Please help koalas by supporting the Australian Koala Foundation. Find koala information here – Save the koala!
