Value of a Koala

At Koala Land, we would like to know how much you think a koala is worth. We want to ask questions like:

• What is the value of conservation?

• Are koalas worth saving?

• How much do you think koalas are worth?

• Would you contribute to a levy if you lived in koala habitat?

• Would you contribute towards buying land to save koalas? How much?

• Do you think that koalas and humans can live together?

• What can we do to help koalas now?

• What are your ideas?

• What are you already doing to help koalas?

 

 

Considering that a koala in captivity costs about $8000 per year to keep healthy, and moving koalas costs more than $10,000 per koala, what would a koala in the wild cost? Think about the value of the land, trees, water and carbon. Some have said that koalas in the wild could be worth up to $20m each! What do you think?
