I would like to add that chlamidiosis as well as loss of habitat is creating a massive toll on all koalas, we must do what we can to fix this problem asap. The raymond island Koalas were riddled with the disease and unfortunately "inbred" due to being cut off from other populations. We need to find pure breeds that are healthy to repopulate the ... See Morespecies and educate others on loss of habitat due to the human tribe. mostly we need to be mindful that we SHARE this planet with other sentient beings and "BACK OFF" and rethink our place, which isto coexist with all Creature Teachers in harmony "so mote it be"... It all starts with You & I & Ours.

Nearly end of Sept, but no reason not to keep on saving koalas. Apart from making a direct donation to Sam's shelter, you can log in to ebay and buy a small Trading card sized print in memory of Sam... and the money (100%) goes to the shelter via me.

Best wishes

So they should. It is so un Australian when a person can steal anothers copyright. In this case 'Sam The Koala' which was created and copyrighted by me in Victoria in 1988. David Tree and I would like to thank the tens of thousands of people for your support, after we both appeared in the media, as to what had been done to us. We will continue our work together for the good of our Koala's and all our unique Australian species . Thanks again Rose-Marie Dusting & David Tree.

Sam to be displayed at the Melbourne Museum
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25898769-661,00.html I think it's a good idea. It's a way to preserve history. I know some people might not like the idea, but the idea of displaying Sam like Phar Lap is alright. Thoughts?
