Who Are We?

Koala Action Pine Rivers Inc. (KAPR) is a volunteer not for profit group made up of individuals concerned about the long-term survival of the koala population in the Moreton Bay Regional Council District. Its objectives are to help koalas by lobbying local, state and federal government as well as businesses to retain native bushland habitat, rehabilitate degraded bushland to increase its carrying capacity and replant koala food trees and other natives in parks, reserves and open spaces.

KAPR provides free koala education and awareness presentations to community groups, schools and private enterprise. KAPR members are also involved in the rescue of sick, injured and orphaned koalas and actively facilitate the creation of koala food tree plantations.

Since its incorporation KAPR has provided numerous koala education and awareness presentations to schools and community groups and has been involved in providing information to the general public on a range of koala related matters. In addition, KAPR provides support to those raising koala orphans from their homes.

Some KAPR members volunteer to care for sick, injured and orphaned koalas admitted into the Australian Wildlife Hospital at Beerwah.

KAPR provides information to the general public via newspapers, radio and television and also attends local, state as well as federal government meetings on a range of koala related matters.
