They’re also facing habitat loss from urbanisation and natural disasters. In areas like New South Wales, they're listed as endangered - meaning that they're at risk of becoming extinct. BBC reporter Tiffanie Turnbull tells us about some of the recent moves the Australian government has made to towards koala conservation.
