Koala

“A vividly written and thoroughly researched celebration of the lives of koalas. Filled with fascinating and often surprising information, the book is also an invitation to honor and protect these extraordinary animals.” – David George Haskell, author of Sounds Wild and Broken and The Songs of Trees
“The tree-dwelling koala is one of Australia’s most iconic species, yet it is threatened by habitat loss. Danielle Clode, a natural storyteller, has written an insightful book that deepens our understanding of this fascinating animal and highlights the urgency of its survival.” – Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees
“Koala is a winner in many different arenas. Their story, like that of so many other animals, warns us that we are unrelentingly and irreversibly destroying our magnificent planet and the only way forward to save koalas, other animals including humans, and all of our homes, is to strive for peaceful coexistence grounded in compassion, respect, and kindness. Easily readable, with a welcomed personal touch, I highly recommend this book. ” – Marc Bekoff, author of A Dog’s World
“In Koala, Danielle Clode conjures up a disconcerting prehistoric vision of giant koalas, before assessing the modem population’s plight in the face of habitat loss, highly contagious retroviruses and climate change.” – Simon Ings - New Scientist
