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.
