Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Fig Tree Pocket, Brisbane, Australia
The sanctuary spans 18 hectares and maintains habitats for more than 130 koalas, numerous kangaroos, wombats, and native Australian birds.
Founded in 1927 to protect koalas from fur hunting, the sanctuary began with two koalas named Jack and Jill and expanded its conservation mission.
The Brisbane Koala Science Institute within the sanctuary conducts research, maintains a genetic repository, and educates visitors about Australian wildlife conservation.
