[2] It is the principal non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to the conservation and effective management of the wild koala and its habitat.
[2] In 2023, the AKF finished its signature project, the Koala Habitat Atlas, which took approximately $20m of scientific time and field work to create.
The KHA is provided free of charge to members of the public when they are trying to produce scientific proof that koala habitat could be destroyed if development and industry projects are approved.
[3] In 2016 and 2019 the AFK declared that koalas were "functionally extinct",[4][5] but those claims were subsequently challenged as untrue by one person and AKF still stands by that view.
[citation needed] In 2019 the AKF expressed grave concerns over the EPBC Act, claiming it did not go far enough to protect koalas.
