Katrina creates short and long documentaries that take you into the lives of these super cute and fascinating marsupials that live in the treetops. You can adopt wild koalas to help further sanctuary activities. https://koalagardens.net.au/shop/product-category/adopt/ Koala Gardens also publish a series of children's books in the Adventures of Mist series. There are now 5 books in the series which cover a range of climate change and environmental issues that allow children who love koalas to see how they can change the way they live. https://koalagardens.net.au/shop/product-category/books/ Merchandise of high quality, sustainably created is available at Redbubble https://www.redbubble.com/people/koalagardens/shop Koalas live in Australia and are not only cute animals, but wild koalas are facing extinction due to climate change and forest destruction. Koalas are marsupials and Koala Gardens explores their lives in the wild through video of wild koalas in nature video that shows how they live day to day. There is nothing more beautiful as a reason to save our planet than seeing a koala mum and joey in the wild. #wildandfree #koala #australia #liveinhope #naturevideo #koalavideo #koalalove #wildlife #marsupials #cute #cuteanimals #climatechange #climateaction #saveourplanet #forest #naturelovers #environment #documentary #koalajoey #joey 🎹 Music used in this video from: Music by Peter Philippe Weiss https://linktr.ee/peter_philippe_weiss https://mixkit.co/free-stock-music/ http://audionautix.com https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music
