Ms Box told Sky News “there are many areas that are still yet to be affected,” so “we need to get on the ground to do those assessments and understand what those impacts are”.
“We are certainly worried about koalas in NSW, southeast Queensland and the ACT, that population is already listed as vulnerable under our national environment legislation. “The minister for the environment said she is very keen to get the koala experts together and look at what that means for the conservation status of the koala and whether it needs to be listed as endangered,” she said.

Koala relocation petition 'takes the prize for absolute green stupidity': Smith | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Smith says a new online petition calling for the relocation of Australia’s koala population to New Zealand “takes the prize for absolute green stupidity”. \n\nThe wildlife advocacy group, ‘Koala Relocation Society,’ says the iconic Australian animal should be relocated to eucalyptus plantations in New Zealand to ensure their survival. \n\nIt comes as Environment Minister Sussan Ley had warned on Monday koalas could be classified as endangered after taking an extraordinary hit in the bushfire crisis. \n\nSpeaking from Port Macquarie Koala Hospital Ms Ley and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg announced a $50 million fund to help affected wildlife recover.\n\n'Now for starters, the words koala and relocation are an anathema,” Mr Smith said. \n\n“Koalas don't relocate well at all'. \n\n“Of all the balmy ideas floated through this bushfire period, the trophy goes to... a mob of complete dingbats,' he said. \n\nImage: Getty Im sure the Koalas are having a great time here. Being incinerated, their habitat destroyed. A PM that wont even fork out for a waterbomber....as if its his fuckin money If I was a Koala id be applying for political asylum to get away from a shithouse backwater run by imbeciles Agree 100% with peak stupidity 😀 Thought our koalas needed eucalyptus leaves to thrive, not Jacinda's halal meat.
