Working with landholders, Wild Carbon is re-connecting forests and woodlands of manna gums, a preferred eucalyptus food tree of koalas in the south-eastern region of Australia. By planting other important forest species such as blackwood and black wattle, we are also providing habitat for other wildlife found in the same area, including shy yellow-bellied gliders and spot-tailed quolls.
Koalas in parts of south-eastern Australia have recovered from near extinction in teh 1920s, when koalas received protection from hunting. Today, with landscapes extensively cleared and modified, lack of forest habitat is the new threat to these iconic animals. Those koalas that have successfully bred are facing new population pressures as they are "locked" into their small remnant forest patches, unable to move safely and successfully across the landscape.
Wild Carbon forest reconnections will provide koalas with new habitat - and at 15 metric tonnes^ of carbon sequestered per year, are an effective part of an overall footprint reduction strategy.
^Calculated according to Australian Greenhouse office methodology for south-eastern temperate zone mixed hardwood forests.
Contact Wild Carbon to reduce your footprint and help these koalas and other wildlife in this region.
