Australia’s koala paradox: why is the beloved marsupial endangered in parts but overabundant in others?
There are so many koalas in some places that food is the issue – while elsewhere populations are threatened by habitat loss. And there are no easy fixes
Because I've just found out that today Is Wild Koala Day and our koalas are now endangered (critically in some places) I am doing a double on our Aussie species this weekend. The Guardian article will explain why our koalas are so threatened even when there are large populations in some places.
The following video is a bit old but gives a good idea of the features that make the koala so special. Overseas members may find it particularly interesting. Also, share it with children. They should enjoy it.
