A few days ago in Southeast Queensland, I was lucky enough to capture a deeply precious moment: a female koala resting quietly in a tree, with her tiny joey tucked safely in her pouch.

The images below are the before the 4,000ContinueContinue reading “Another 4,000 acres cleared in 2023”
Land Clearing
There are many ways land is cleared and each time it is cleared this reduces Habitat. It also reduces this earth’s ability to process Carbon Dioxide back into oxygen, which we all need to breathe and give us life.
