00:00 So you guys, I hope this works, the koala plan.

00:05 - This is an animal paint, so it'll be a bit shiny.

00:10 - We'll be reflective I suppose.

00:13 - Back, that's the message from the koalas.

00:17 What do you guys think?

00:18 But the forest should be for everyone.

00:21 - Well in this day and age, everything should be stopped.

00:27 That's an emergency, a climate emergency.

00:30 Everything to do with logging trees should be totally stopped.

00:33 - We think that you've got to give koalas back

00:35 to all of the users of koalas.

00:37 That's the bike riders, that's the wildlife,

00:41 and that's the public who enjoy it.

00:44 And we need the lungs to breathe.

00:46 We need it to be a forest.

00:47 Not just a place where you harvest the biggest trees.

00:51 It's about time that we actually put a stop

00:54 to logging and harvesting these.

00:57 These very precious and second places

01:00 about where we live.

01:02 - You want healthy koalas.

01:04 - We're at an era.
