It may be too late to save the beloved koala.

: ‘Functionally extinct means that a koala living today might have one joey and that joey may or may not have a joey, if they don’t, that’s functionally extinct.

With such a small population, the koala can’t play a significant role in their ecosystem, which makes the long-term viability of the species unlikely. A crowdfunding page set up by Port Macquarie Koala Hospital to provide automatic water drinking stations for the bears asked for $25,000 .Blazes have so far killed six people, ravaged hundreds of homes and scorched about 1.5 million hectares But within weeks donations soared past $1m , making it the country’s second largest fundraising campaign since GoFundme was launched there in 2016.
