Photo: Lannon Harley - We've set up a fund to care for koalas displaced and injured by bushfires as well as research to protect them and their habitats from climate change. As bushfires ravaged much of southeastern Australia, researchers from The Australian National University stepped in to help save one of the nation's most iconic native animals - the koala. They are providing much needed care and a temporary home for koalas from the Snowy Mountains displaced and injured by Australia's bushfire crisis. Three of the koalas have been named after the American aerial firefighters tragically killed in the air-tanker crash in southeast NSW - Ian McBeth, Paul Hudson and Rick DeMorgan Jr. The three koalas were found in the same region. The researchers' work has made international headlines , and now ANU has launched a new fund to assist their work.
