Community Events
KAI attends environmental festivals such as Kumbartcho at Eatons Hill Queensland as well as Council events throughout the Moreton Bay region. We use these opportunities to erect visual display boards, distribute information and educational brochures, provide koala rescue details, emergency contacts and fund-raise.
Koala Education and Awareness Presentations
KAI offers the latest in depth scientific information in a power-point format available to schools, businesses, organisations and community groups. Each and everyone of us can contribute to the sustainability of the koala population. Knowledge is power enabling us to reduce the perils faced by koalas.
We offer two main presentations:
Public Awareness and Activism
The general public appear to remain unaware of the plight of the koala in South East Queensland in spite of the media attention it receives.
KAI generates awareness utilising a range of media options, public demonstrations and by attending community/environmental events.
We regularly submit articles into local newspapers and have been filmed on local TV current affairs programs.
Fundraising
To fund our objectives, a variety of activities and options are utilised. These include:
Sausage Sizzles
Raffles
Recycling aluminum cans and other items
Donations
Membership
Website product sales
Replanting and Rehabilitation Activities
KAI applies for local, state and federal government grants, private businesses and enterprises as well as utilising our own donated funds to:
Replant koala food trees and other natives in parks, reserves and open spaces;
Rehabilitate existing bushland by removing exotic weeds, plants and grasses to facilitate natural regeneration as well as replanting to increase its carrying capacity.
