No, koalas are not extinct; nor have they ever been close to extinction. They are a protected species, and while their numbers are falling, they are not yet even classified as endangered, despite lobbying by conservation groups.

Habitat destruction and disease are two threats to the koala. See the related question below for more details about how to protect the koala.
