Koalas Quotes

“Even I realized that money was to politicians what the eucalyptus tree is to koala bears: food, water, shelter, and something to crap on.”
― P.J. O'Rourke

“It’s not that koalas can’t live with these changes. Often they can: if there are enough trees, of the right kind, for them to live in, in linear parks that follow old creeklines; if enough trees are left in the paddocks for them; if there are places for them to cross roads safely; if new urban developments retain old eucalypts and maintain habitat corridors; if dogs are managed and confined; if rural and urban fences are constructed for wildlife safety instead of as traps to entangle, ensnare and obstruct; if swimming pools have slopes and steps for animals to exit; if we take the time and make an effort.”
― Danielle Clode, Koala: A Life in Trees

“You’re not meant to hide your colors, little one. You’re meant to shine. There’s a magic garden on top of a mountain where joy runs wild, and you can feel like you belong. You should follow the trail and go to this place, Novi.
