Who We Are

A passionate group of residents, proud to be part of the Koalas of Raymond Island community. We have united with the Paynesville Business and Tourism Association to form the Koala Island Foundation. Our mission is to protect the koalas of Raymond Island while enhancing the community for residents and visitors alike. By collaborating with Landcare, KORI (the Koalas of Raymond Island shelter), conservationists, and tourism operators, we strive for positive outcomes.

Our Mission and Vision

We recognise the importance of these unique creatures. Our island is home to a significant population of koalas. We aim to educate visitors about their habitat and the challenges they face. Through our initiatives, we promote conservation efforts that protect their natural environment. We believe that healthy koalas lead to a thriving ecosystem for all residents and wildlife.

Engaging the Community

Our foundation actively engages the local community. We organise events and activities that raise awareness about the importance of koala conservation. Furthermore, we encourage residents and visitors to participate in our efforts. Community involvement is crucial for the success of our initiatives. We host informative sessions to share knowledge and discuss our projects. Together, we can create a sustainable future for the Koalas of Raymond Island.
