The Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) works to conserve both koalas and their habitats. They do not provide physical Koala care.
Instead, their main goals are to update the Koala Habitat Atlas mapping of all wild Koala habitat. And to get the Koala Protection Act enacted to ensure Koalas and their habitat are protected.
They are located at Level 1, 40 Charlotte Street, Brisbane Queensland, Australia.

About the Australian Koala Foundation
The AKF aims to enact the Koala Protection Act to protect Koalas and their habitat. They coordinate and disseminate information from the many koala groups around the country.
AKF’s aim is the long-term conservation and effective management of the wild Koala in Australia. They do this with strategic koala research and community education focusing on mapping.
Habitat Protection
Preserving koala habitats is a core aspect of AKF’s work. They identify critical areas essential for koala survival and work to secure and restore these habitats through various initiatives.
Koala Habitat Atlas
The Koala Habitat Atlas is a comprehensive mapping tool to assess and document the status of koala habitats across Australia. The atlas aids in targeted actions to protect and conserve these areas.
It identifies, evaluates, and preserves the areas crucial for the survival and well-being of koala populations. This includes their distribution, density, and the condition of eucalypt forests crucial for koala survival.
