Save the Koala Day is observed worldwide every last Friday of September to highlight the dangers faced by koalas and the importance of conserving their natural habitat. Established in 2008 by the Australian Koala Foundation (AKF), this day is part of the broader Save the Koala Month initiative. The koala, native to coastal areas of eastern and southern Australia, is classified as a vulnerable species due to habitat destruction, urbanization, and other threats. On this day, individuals can support koala conservation by donating to organizations like the AKF, purchasing official merchandise, or symbolically adopting a koala. Celebrations may also include visiting local zoos or wildlife parks, reading about koalas, organizing fundraisers, and sharing content on social media with the hashtag #SaveTheKoalaDay.
