ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

When visiting Australia Wildlife Park in NSW I was captivated by this very photogenic koala who was such a great subject fo my drawing. I loved how happy he looked and this is something I wanted to accentuate. It is this happy and gentle expression that makes koalas adored by the world over.

After the devestating fires of 2019/20 an astonsihing 12.6 million hectares of forest and bushland was lost. These fires pushed koalas to the brink. Even after the loss of this vital habitat, logging companies and developers are still continuing with deforestation. Koalas will be lost from the east coast of Australia for ever if this isn't stopped.
