2024 Koalas in Danger - Endangered in the ACT Limited Edition Medallion & Stamp Cover PNC

Our iconic Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is facing a crisis. In its native habitat on the eastern and southern coastal regions of the mainland, the Koala is at risk, and in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, this much-loved marsupial has recently been listed as an endangered species under national environmental law.

The dramatic decline in populations can be attributed to habitat loss, climate change and associated extreme weather events, including bushfires and flood.

Sadly, many Aussie are unaware that we're at risk of losing this treasured species.

The medallion's obverse features the inscription Koalas Facing Extinction - Australian Capital Territory.  

Featuring a coloured medallion along with commemorative $1.50 Stamp.
