Video: The Australia Post logo sits in the top right corner. In a leafy tree, a koala raises its fluffy ears. In a park, a white-haired man wears an Australia Post polo shirt. Text: "Paul Graham, Group CEO and Managing Director, Australia Post."
Audio: Paul: We've got a great partnership with WWF. It's one of our key imperatives we know to be a sustainable organisation and look after our planet.
Video: Paul and a man in a WWF shirt walk in the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital. They visit a koala enclosure.
Audio: Paul: We've got a program and a relationship with WWF that's focused specifically on koala preservation. As we know, they're one of the most endangered species in the world. So our goal is to help raise funds to ensure we can not only preserve those koalas that are around but actually grow that population, particularly in the east coast of Australia where we know they're particularly under threat.
Video: Hospital staff open a crate at the base of a tree. A koala climbs out and up the trunk. The man in the WWF shirt stands in a garden. Text: "Dermot O'Gorman, Chief Executive Officer, WWF-Australia."
Audio: Dermot: The funds raised by Australia Post support WWF's Koalas Forever program, an ambitious program to double the number of koalas on the east coast of Australia. That helps to plant trees, to reduce the threats, to support wildlife hospitals, like this one in Currumbin, which really make a difference to turning around a declining population of koalas and towards a national goal of doubling koalas on the east coast.
Video: A sign for Currumbin Wildlife Hospital features a koala. Paul and Dermot listen to a man in a green hospital shirt. The man stands in a garden. Text: "Dr Michael Pyne, Head Veterinarian, Currumbin Wildlife Hospital."
Audio: Michael: Currumbin Wildlife Hospital have been vaccinating koalas now for the past three years. The chlamydia disease is a massive killer of our native koalas. It's a disease that's tricky to treat and, you know, it's really spreading through our koalas.
Video: A vet gives a koala eye drops. A woman in a brown WWF shirt is interviewed near the hospital. Text: "Tanya Pritchard, Senior Manager, Koala Recovery and Landscape Restoration, WWF-Australia."
Audio: Tanya: Koalas are on their way to being extinct in the wild by 2050 and this is because we have a really increasing number of threats and also there's a lot of habitat clearing still going on, with trees being cleared which are really important homes for koalas.
Video: Tanya, Dermot, Michael and Paul are photographed outside the hospital. They hold toy koalas and a huge postage stamp that features a photo of a koala. Vets sedate a koala.
Audio: Paul: So we've got a three-year partnership specifically focused at making sure we can do whatever we can to not only preserve koala populations, but indeed to make them more proliferate and actually grow those populations over time.
Video: Vets monitor the koala. Tanya, Dermot, Michael and Paul visit the hospital.
Audio: Dermot: Being able to work with Australia Post to get the message out around endangered koalas for people to take action in their local neighbourhoods to support koala action through donations is a really important part of the partnership between WWF and Australia Post.
Video: Koalas perch and climb in trees.
Audio: Paul: It's a fantastic cause. Like all things Australia Post, we'll really get behind it, and our communities and our post offices and everyone in Australia Post I know feels really good about this relationship and we're very proud to be part of that relationship as well.
Video: Text appears over a leafy bushland canopy. "Australia Post is joining WWF-Australia in their mission to double koala numbers across Eastern Australia by 2050." The Australia Post logo appears on a red screen. It moves to the left. The white right half of the screen now has the WWF logo and the words "Working together to protect koalas."
