Veterinarians Chris Barton and Elaine Ong of Vets for Compassion attach eucalyptus browse into a destroyed eucalyptus tree plantation where surviving koalas perch high in trees. The fresh eucalyptus is tied to the base of trees which lures them down, at which point the rescuers and vets can catch the koala and assess them for injuries. If the animals are kept for rehabilitation, they will later be released to the wild.
