The cute koala, one of Australia’s most popular animals, is the closest thing in nature to a teddy bear. But the koala is much more than an adorable little tree-climbing creature. This animal symbolizes the need to take things leisurely and to appreciate life’s small day-to day pleasures. The koala is deeply significant for Australia’s first nations peoples, who believe it to be a symbol of wisdom and adaptation. In their legends it is often depicted as a being with profound insight into its environment and with a heightened sense of community. It is also a totem of conservation and respect for the environment, now turned into an innovative decorative and artistic creation.
