"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*
