The Blinky Bill campaign

There were 10 million koalas in Australia before colonisation. Now there are only about 30,000 left. The most important step for the survival of the last populations is to save their habitats, the forests, which are being cut down more and more. Dorothee Babeck is the coordinator of a campaign of the Bob Brown Foundation, which has set itself the goal of encouraging Australians to join in the attempt to save the Koalas and has used the children's book character Blinky Bill for this purpose.
