The Australian Koala Foundation Estimates KOALA NUMBERS Are LOWER Than We Think…
Sadly, The Australian Koala Foundation believes there could be less than 50,000 koalas left. A number which is 10 times lower than the federal government estimated.
Koalas are classified as vulnerable across NSW, QLD and the ACT, but these new numbers point toward a new endangered classification.
Hunting, fires and deforestation are primarily to blame for the rapid decline, with the 2019-2020 bushfires impacting 60,000 koalas alone.
