42. The Koala Manifesto (with Deborah Tabart)

This week Jack is joined by the brilliant Deborah Tabart to highlight Australia’s most iconic animal, the Koala! The pair discuss how the Koala has become politicised, the numerous threats that it faces, and how the Australian Koala Foundation is fighting to protect this incredible species. This includes conversations about their work on the Koala Manifesto, Kiss Points and the Koala Protection Act!

Jack and Deborah also discuss how government and industry must do more to protect the Koala, the importance of respecting Mother Nature, and a whole host of other Australian icons such as flying foxes, snakes, whale sharks, Steve Irwin, and the Great Barrier Reef!

Deborah is the Chair of the Australian Koala Foundation, and has dedicated her life to the protection of this amazing species. She has received one of Australia’s highest individual honours, the Order of Australia Medal (OAM), and she is a leading voice in the protection of Koalas. There is really no one better to talk to about these topics!
