TAT helps plant 1,000 trees on Australia’s National Tree Day in support of koala protection

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Sydney Office and Royal Thai Embassy in Sydney joined forces with the Koala Clancy Foundation to plant 1,000 trees in the Australian state of Victoria on Sunday, 31 July, 2022, on the occasion of Australia’s National Tree Day.

The tree planting in cooperation with Team Thailand was carried out on for the purpose of re-vegetation to help create a more koala-friendly habitat. The 1,000 trees planted on 31 July, 2022, helped the Koala Clancy Foundation towards its 2022 target of planting 26,000 trees in the You Yangs region.

The Koala Clancy Foundation is a not-for-profit incorporated association and registered charity that supports the wild koalas of the Western Plains of Victoria, particularly around the You Yangs and Brisbane Ranges, west of Melbourne. Since 2016, it has planted 77,000 koala trees and removed 2.8 million invasive weeds from koala habitat.

Thailand is aiming for more sustainable and more responsible tourism under its ‘Visit Thailand Year 2022.
