Dispossessed is a cry for help.

While millions of koalas used to roam in the wild, their populations have plummeted with as few as 43,000 still remaining. These iconic animals have suffered devastating population decline due to human development. Thousands of trees are bulldozed each day across Australia, and our koalas are very quickly heading towards extinction. With critical koala populations still recovering from last summer's devastating fires, they urgently need help. Six thousand koalas were killed in NSW alone during last summer's fires. On a slippery slope even before this, they urgently need help.

After a successful career in the hospitality industry, John Walters moved to Mullumbimby in 2000. He studied ceramics at Lismore TAFE followed by a bachelor of fine art at Southern Cross University Lismore. In recent years I have concentrated on participating in local open air sculpture events, including the Brunswick
Heads Nature Sculpture Walk, The Mullumbimby Sculpture Festival (Ingenuity) and Sculptures at the Byron Bay writers festival. His installations mostly focus on endangered species as their subject matter.
Once a month Walters can be found at the Bangalow markets in the Moller Pavilion selling his weavings made from natural fibres.
