Echidna Walkabout tours offer one- to three-day Koala Recovery Experience trips to habitats west of Melbourne, where participants plant eucalyptus trees and learn about the importance of koalas to the ecosystem.

Besides the impact on koalas, the WWF Australia report suggests that as many as 3 billion individual mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs died or were displaced during the crisis.

Participants must commit to a year of monthly payments — about $23 for single koalas and $38 for pairs.

Dimples is a koala in Australia who lost her mother at a young age but found comfort in the arms of Chris Hemsworth.
