Go where the prompt leads!
The Koala Kingdom
“Welcome to the Round Table. The top agenda today is on Koala.”
“We had that six months ago.”
“I’ve met with Koala King. His concerns are about the millions of acres of their kingdom being destroyed.”
“By the developers for housing?”
“And the wildfires too. There’re no consistent legislation or adequate resources from the government to protect them.”
“What do we do?”
“The researchers suggested upgrading the Koala status from Vulnerable to Endangered. We’ll recommend that the government declaring the Koala habitat a sanctuary.”
“Yes, the Koala Foundations will jointly go to the government for securing the Koala Kingdom.”

Yes, the government wouldn’t take that as their priority. It’s up to the private sectors to present the cases.

One United Nation made a point above saving Fuji Island by standing in a knee high water as the cover for the Time magazine and be interviewed. My husband didn’t keep the copy. I want to see if my daughter kept her copy. Fuji Island will sink into the water soon.

Thank you, Diana. I love all the animals in the kingdom of the wild. When we watch documentary, I have a hard time taking sides, the seals or the polar bears. the giraffe or lions? I just have to settle for the chain of life. But encroachment? We can behave ourselves!
