What kind of animal do you think of Australia? Probably the kangaroo and the koala. Couldn't the latter be between us for a long time ?!
The koala is a cute animal with cute ears and a charming figure. However, the only species native to Australia is in big trouble. Their natural environment, which is caused by human activity, is dwindling. Power fires due to extreme drought are decimating the habitat of koalas, but many animals are falling victim to the fire. Slow-moving animals can even get in front of cars and this poses a danger to humans and koalas alike. That is, accidents also take their toll. But that's not all. There is also a sexually transmitted disease, chlamydia, among the cute purses.
Together, they wreak havoc on a day that has been declared an endangered species. Several organizations have drawn attention to the need for much greater attention to be paid to koalas and, in particular, to the suppression of human activity.
