Koalas are cute and fuzzy. They are also threatened. Koalas live in Australia. They need eucalyptus trees to survive. Koalas eat the eucalyptus leaves. They also need the trees to hide from their main predators, the dingos. Koalas are threatened because people cut down trees, destroying their habitat. In Australia’s “Black Summer” of 2019-2020, brush fires burned over 46 million acres of koala habitat and killed over 61 thousand koalas. My artwork shows the fires destroying the koalas’ habitat. It also shows a koala in a eucalyptus tree and how it would live in its natural habitat. I want to encourage people to support rebuilding koala habitat by “planting the seeds” for more eucalyptus trees that koalas need for food and protection. One of my favorite animals at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is the koala bear. I want the koala bear to recover in its natural habitat.
