“Willow is a little Koala from Symbio Wildlife Park in Helensburgh, NSW, Australia. She was born in Symbio and is one of several koalas living in the Park. Bushfires, drought and loss of habitat have put koalas on the endangered species list. Up to 25% of the koala population was impacted by the 2020 East Coast bushfires. It’s a slow and sensitive process, but hopefully with the rescue, rehabilitation and release of this unique animal into re-established and protected areas, the species will recover. ” Nicole Grimm-Hewitt
