Humane society international calls for koala to be listed as endangered in queensland

We are very grateful to Humane Society International & WWF-Australia for starting the ball rolling to have the Koala listed as Endangered instead of Vulnerable in Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT! We rely heavily on respected organisations such as these to speak for all of our concerns. We are grateful to have worked with both on different koala rehabilitation and education projects in the past. Fingers crossed!

Yesterday at 3:30 PM · HSI is proud to announce that we, along with WWF and IFAW, have nominated the koala to be listed as endangered in Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT! ???
This nomination comes as a result of severe population declines (made worse by this summer's devastating bushfires). An endangered listing would increase protection for forests and woodlands where koalas live, mobilise funds, and enable the use of federal and state laws to stop koala habitat being bulldozed and logged.
We are hopeful that governments will take this opportunity to tackle the threats facing koalas and halt any further population decline.
