Did you know that koalas may be "functionally extinct" in their native land?
Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) estimates there are no more than 80,000 koalas left in the country — which may not be a big enough population to ensure their long-term survival.
The term "functionally extinct" describes a species has declined to a point where it can no longer play a part has it once has in the natural ecosystem. Koala populations parts of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, have declined by as much as 80%, due to climate extremes like severe droughts and heat waves, Adams-Hosking writes for The Conversation. Other threats to the species include disease and deforestation.
Zoos are not the answer. Saving their natural home is!
