Many experts say as few as 80,000 Koalas left in the wild, while the Australian Koala Foundation estimates figures are possibly as low as 43,000, and certainly no more than 80,000.

Koalas are still listed as "common" in most parts of Queensland, but in the southeast region of Queensland, their status will soon be changed to "vulnerable", following a drop of over 60% in koala numbers in the past decade. The NSW Government listed the koala as "rare and vulnerable" in 1992, and following protective measures, this has been changed to "vulnerable"; as a result, koala numbers are improving. In Victoria, the koala is not on the threatened species list at all, and in some protected and remote regions, there is actually an overpopulation problem. Where new colonies have been established on Kangaroo island, off the coast of South Australia, there is also beginning to be some concern regarding overpopulation.

Koalas are not endangered, so it can be said that there is not one endangered koala in the world. The Australian Koala Foundation estimates that the are between 43,000 and 80,000 koalas remaining.

However, there are numerous threats to the koala, and it has certainly disappeared from some regions, such as the NSW central coast. the Australian Koala Foundation continues to lobby for it to be upgraded to endangered, especially in certain regions such as southeast Queensland.

Do koalas hurt humans?

Yes. While many measures are being taken to try to preserve koalas, ultimately humans do hurt koalas, both directly and indirectly. Some people are simply cruel, and there are numerous cases each year of koalas being shot. Humans indirectly hurt koalas by destroying their habitat for housing or commercial developments. Humans also hurt koalas indirectly by not carefully supervising their domestic pets. Dogs are one of the main killers of koalas in urban areas.
