Koalas are officially listed as at risk of disappearing in New South Wales, Australia. Now, the state’s government has $34-million plan to protect the beloved animals.
Over the last 20 years, the koala population in New South Wales have fallen by 25percent. About 36,000 koalas remain. The animals’ numbers have fallen in other parts of Australia, too. As part of it plan, the government of New South Wales is setting aside nearly25,000hectares of forest koalas will be able to breed freely. It will also add more signs help car drivers avoid koalas that walk into roadways. And, the state will build specially made bridges so that koalas and other wildlife can cross roads while avoiding cars and trucks. Koalas face several threats, including loss of habitat due to land-clearing, dog attacks and heatwaves. Asexually transmitted disease—chlamydia—is also harming koalas’ health. A new koala hospital will open in Port Stephens, north of Sydney. It will join an already existing hospital in the New South Wales town of Port Macquarie, which began treating injury marsupials in the 1970s. Conservationists have welcomed the idea opening a second hospital. However, they argue that the government’s multi-million-dollar plan does not deal with the number-one threat to koalas: land-clearing. Koala live in trees. They are herbivores, and need forest environments to survive.
