“While trees burn, our wildlife also suffers. It’s been estimated that around 1.25 billion animals have been killed across Australia to date. This includes thousands of koalas and other iconic species such as kangaroos, wallabies, kookaburras, cockatoos and honeyeaters burnt alive, and many thousands more injured and homeless.” – WWF
With the continuing crisis of Australia’s bushfires, Cardiau Cymraeg has decided to create a product which will help contribute towards ‘WWF’s Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund’.
Back in November we took part in a 5 Days of Good challenge, where we dedicated each of the five days to raising awareness and / or donating to a great cause. For the fifth day of 5 Good Days, the idea was to illustrate, design and create a card to be sold with all proceeds being donated to an important cause. With so many valuable causes, it was difficult to pick one to dedicate a card. However, with the current horrendous Australia bushfires causing havoc, we decided to base our charity card on the much loved koala bear, and donate all proceeds to WWF.
This card features a digitally hand illustrated koala bear, contently chewing leaves – which unfortunately is not the reality for how the animals of Australia are living at this current time. For every one of these Koala cards bought, all profit will be donated to the charity at the end of each month.
