International Wild Koala Day


International Wild Koala Day is observed on May 3 in the honour of koalas. Koalas, the majestic representative of the wombat family, are mainly found in remote parts of Australia. Recognizable by their large heads, fluffy ears, and tailless body, koalas are considered to be the symbol of Australia. Yearly wildfires and rampant deforestation have exterminated more than 10 million koalas within a decade. International Wild Koala Day raises awareness and fights for their survival. May 3 was announced as International Wild Koala Day after the disastrous aftermath of the 2020 Australian bushfires.
