Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors
Thanks to AAT Kings and the TreadRight Foundation, the
Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital has treated over 2,000
koalas since 2014. As Australia’s busiest koala hospital,
the facility is at the forefront of koala research and
conservation.
• Despite being one of Australia’s most iconic animals,
the koala is under severe threat in the wild
• Habitat destruction, road accidents, dog attacks and life
threatening diseases continue to devastate populations
