There is currently no legislation, anywhere in the country, that can protect Koalas and Koala habitat in Australia. The listing of the koala as “vulnerable” under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act in 2012 changed nothing. This is supposed to be the premier law for protecting Australia’s environment, yet it is powerless. By the time you read this page the bulldozers may already be working, but it is not too late to take action. Below we have listed some of the things that might make a difference.
* Important Notes About Koala Bears * Koalas can live as long as 17 years. * Koalas prefer to move around after sunset, and spend most of the day sleeping. * Koalas live in eastern Australia. They require large corridors of connected forest. * The habitat of koalas is threatened by urbanization. * Koalas live in eucalyptus tree forests. * Koalas eat the eucalyptus leaves and most of the water in their diets comes from the leaves or water that is on the leaves.
