COALAXY stands for a complementary balance of ecological, social and economic goals. In addition to providing professional advice in the area of product sustainability, we will be making a targeted impact in the area of biodiversity in the future. The adoption of Ruins Way Baz fills us with particular joy. His story is painfully linked to the history of COALAXY. When the devastating bushfires raged in Australia in 2019, killing many thousands of koalas, the idea for COALAXY was born as an organisation that addresses the most important sustainability challenges of our time in terms of product innovation and development. We strongly believe that no matter where in the world one supports biodiversity or ecosystems every impact matters!

„Baz was named after one of the two firefighters that found him all burnt and sitting on the side of a track, during the peak of the 2019 Mid North Coast bushfires. He had bad burns on his hands, feet and nose and his fur was all singed and brown. He was very dehydrated too. Baz struggled for many weeks to cope with staff fearing for his life initially. He slowly recovered but his he has permanently lost the claws on his hands and feet and has scar tissue on his digits and his chin. As a result Ruins Way Baz is unable to climb high into the trees, although he can manage small trees slowly.

Ruins Way Baz is considered non-releasable and now lives permanently at the Koala Hospital. Baz is an ambassador for veterinarians, researchers and wildlife carer teaching them about what can occur with burns injuries. (Source: Koala Conservation Australia).”

Many thanks to Koala Conservation Australia, especially the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and to all the firefighters who risk their lives to save koalas. Many thanks also to Carla Jedani for recommending the NGO Koala Conservation Australia.
