What is the problem you found?

How might we fundraise money to stop roadkill?

 

Customer / Problem

With deforestation affecting more and more of our bush, native wildlife - especially koalas - are facing endangerment. Koalas don't have enough tree space, and in the search of a better home often end up getting killed on our roads.

What Is Your Solution?

There are already some steps being taken to help reduce road deaths for native wildlife, such as possum/koala bridges. However, this is not enough and the death toll for koalas is still concerning. This is why we have come up with the solution of a eucalyptus oil spray that could be used to attract koalas to existing bridges to ensure a safe journey to a new home. This would allow the koala populations to begin regeneration, with the support of conservation initiatives.
