*War on Nature: The Fight to Save the Great Koala National Park | Episode 5*
In this episode of War on Nature, join Global Conservation and Conservation Photographer Paul Hilton as we dive into the urgent challenges facing the Great Koala National Park on Australia’s east coast. With a unique biodiversity shaped by millions of years of geographical isolation, Australia is home to species found nowhere else on Earth. Among these, the koala stands as an irreplaceable national icon—and it is now under threat.

Once numbering in the millions, koala populations have plummeted to fewer than 80,000 in the wild due to climate change, habitat loss, and logging. Now officially endangered, koalas face the real risk of extinction without urgent action. In response, Global Conservation is working to protect one of the last great forests where these beloved animals still thrive.
Global Conservation is dedicated to preserving critical habitats like the Great Koala National Park. By supporting anti-logging efforts and habitat preservation, we aim to save this vital ecosystem for future generations.

Absolutely devastating. Thankyou Paul, Mark, Sue and all our forest defenders on the front line.
