As images of bushfire-affected koalas on life support are still going viral, the death toll for the marsupials has reached 350 in NSW alone. Its a crisis which has tugged on the nations heartstrings, including Indigenous songwriter Christine Anu.

After being inducted into the Australia Zoo Walk Of Fame on Friday, the singer has spoken about the work the zoos medical unit is doing to treat koalas affected by the recent prolonged period of unusually dry and hot conditions.

Of course bushfires will affect the food source, the habitat for koalas, Anu told HuffPost Australia.

The biggest trauma incidents for koalas are actually vehicles hitting them because they are running around because their homes are being burnt down.
