Koalas may be extinct in Australia's New South Wales by 2050

Land clearing for agriculture, urban development, mining and forestry had been the biggest factor in the fragmentation and loss of habitat for the animals in NSW, the country’s most populous state, over several decades.

The report, commissioned by a multi-party parliamentary committee, makes 42 recommendations, including an urgent census, prioritising the protection of the animal in the planning of urban development, and increasing conservation funding.

“WWF calls on the NSW Premier to rewrite weak land clearing laws to protect koala habitat, greatly increase funding for farmers who actively conserve trees where koalas live, and a transition out of logging koala forests and into plantations.” Blanch said in a statement.

Lets hope they do the right thing! It'll be a loss to Australia & its reputation, if they don't try to save these beautiful unique creatures.

I'm pretty sure as a population we have enough on our plates right now. Pool little guys. Sleep all day. They can't seem to get a break.

Most cute & innocent among the list of animals 🥰

There’s still a strong chance that we will die off earlier. Let’s keep fingers crossed.

Terrible news, intervention is needed now..
