Thank you for Paving the Way

On 18 September the University of Sydney community came together for our fifth 24-hour fundraising challenge, Pave the Way. Our students, staff, alumni and friends gave to support an Australian icon who really needs our help – the koala.

 

If you were unable to make your gift during Pave the Way, you can support koala research by making a gift online or by calling +61 2 8627 8818.

Koalas are thirsty for your help
Aug 13, 2018

It's thought that the koala's only source of water is through eucalyptus leaves, but rising temperatures and long periods of drought are drying out trees. Dehydrated koalas are dropping from trees at an alarming rate. You can help us install drinking stations for our koalas so they can have safe access to the water they so desperately need to survive.
