The Koala has suffered extensive habitat loss as the eucalyptus forests
it depends on for survival are cut down to make room for houses, roads
and agriculture. But the koala also faces a host of other problems as
well. For instance, the Foundation says 4,000 koalas a year are killed
by cars and dogs. Others fall victim to wildfires and diseases and many more. it is estimated that there has been a 50-90% decline of overall koala population(Maxwell et al. 1996)

This insight displays some of the main factors effecting the decreasing koala population in South East Queensland, the measures put in place to stop their extinction, and the possible measures that could be taken to further help the conservation effort.
