What makes Koala Responsible?

This artwork features a Koala graphic surrounded by a list of other threatened and endangered Australian species. Our artist, Eliza Graves-Browne, created this work after the catastrophic Australian bushfires of 2019-20. A report commissioned by the World Wide Fund for Nature estimated that 143 million mammals, 2.46 billion reptiles, 180 million birds, and 51 million frogs were killed or displaced during the 2019-20 bushfires. In February 2022 the status of the koala was changed from vulnerable to endangered. Raise awareness every time you wear the tee.
