🚗🐨 Wildlife Emergency Kit – Are You Prepared?

We are often asked what you should keep in your car in case you come across injured wildlife, especially koalas, on our roads. Having a few simple items on hand can make a huge difference while waiting for a rescuer to arrive.

🧺 Wildlife Emergency Essentials:
✔️ Thick towel or blanket – protects you from teeth and claws and helps safely move off road and cover wildlife
✔️ Washing basket – can be placed over a koala to keep them safe and contained (and handy for storing your emergency kit)
✔️ Flagging tape or bright marker – helps rescuers locate the animal if you can’t stay
✔️ Torch – useful for seeing the animal safely at night or in low-light conditions

👉 For step-by-step tips on what to do if you hit or find a koala on the road, visit our website: https://www.kagr.org.au/koalas-and-roads/

🐨⚠️ Fences: a hidden threat to koalas ⚠️🐨

Fences are a common part of our landscape, but some types can pose a risk to koalas and other wildlife.

Koalas regularly move across properties in search of food, water, and mates. When fencing isn’t wildlife-friendly, it can block movement, fragment habitat, and in some cases cause entanglement, serious injury, or worse.

Barbed wire, wire mesh, poorly maintained fences, or fencing placed through known wildlife pathways are particularly dangerous, especially during dispersal and breeding seasons when koalas are on the move.

🌿 The good news? Small changes can make a big difference.
✔️ Use wildlife-friendly fencing where possible
✔️ Remove unnecessary barbed wire or replace the top and bottom strand with barbless barbed wire or plain wire.
✔️ Keep fences visible and well maintained
✔️ Leave safe movement gaps in known koala pathways

Protecting koalas doesn’t always mean big changes - sometimes it’s about thoughtful choices on the ground that help wildlife move safely through our shared landscapes. 💚
