Thought I will raise this chestnut as obviously Pete has no clue.
Do not send any money to the Australian Koala Foundation. AKF is no different from NKF and like the latter is run by a single person, a lady that has absolute control over staff and governing board. This lady has been so successful in avoiding closure by the previous govts that she has even managed to snook them by getting an OAM.
To avoid scrutiny of the books, she does not receive any govt funds and those accounts remain a mystery.
Koalas are not endangered per se and in some places are in pest proportions while they have become extinct in others. This does not mean that it is becoming endangered as a species. She is extremely smart in using the term endangered. In some neighbourhoods, you can spot Koala every other night.
This lady has been milking international suckers for yonks , who naturally have no clue. Pete is the probably the only Aussie that has no clue and knowing how naive he can be, he will probably post this to the lady asking for an explanation. By the way, it will be good if it can get the accounts showing the admin expenses and her travellog
Like Durai, she made sure that her travels and lifestyle are well accommodated before passing on the rest to selected Koala Projects to keep the honey flowing. Like NKF, this outfit is media savy, and has a well oiled fund seeking machine. But never Govt funds.
Rule of thumb: Never donate anything until you see a set of accounts and know how much in the dollar actually goes for the cause.
