Communities across the country continue to rally, write letters, sign petitions, attend meetings and stand together to protect the wildlife and habitats that make Australia so special.
The heartbreaking images of koalas left amongst tree stumps, stripped of their homes and safe habitat, should be enough to make governments stop and listen.
These are not just trees being removed.
These are homes, food sources, nurseries and lifelines for countless native animals.
As an animal communicator, I feel deeply for the wildlife affected by this destruction.
These beautiful beings experience fear, confusion and loss just as we do.
They belong here.
I have called the Redlands home since 1992.
During that time, I've witnessed decades of conservation efforts, passionate volunteers, wildlife carers and community members working tirelessly to protect our precious koalas and their habitat.
Despite years of advocacy, research and investment, we are once again watching critical habitat disappear.
Enough is enough.
Our community has shown extraordinary commitment writing letters, making calls, travelling for hours, catching boats to attend meetings and rallies, and standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Yet the chainsaws came.
The trees fell.
And the wildlife paid the price... AGAIN !!!!
We are heartbroken.
But we are not giving up.
A heartfelt thank you to Waterhouse for his incredible photographs of Leaf a beloved local koala who calls this beautiful place home.
Through his lens, people can see not just a koala, but a living soul whose future depends on the choices we make today.
Please join us this Saturday, 6th June at 2pm on Delancey Street Ormiston for a peaceful gathering as we stand together for Leaf, Kimmi, their joeys, and every koala, wallaby, bird and native animal that depends on this precious habitat.
For their future.
For their habitat.
For our children's future.
We are the guardians of this extraordinary land and these ancient gum trees.
Together, as Human Beings who care deeply for our wildlife, we will stand peacefully, united in protection, compassion and respect for all life.
The innocent need us now.
Let's make our voices heard.
