New Koala Survey Boosts Population Estimate
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
New data reveals Australias koala population may be much larger than previously thought, with an additional 244,000 koalas found in New South Wales. This brings the states estimated population to 274,000, challenging current habitat protection efforts. However, conservation groups stress that koala populations are still endangered, having declined by 57% in the past two decades. The NSW government plans to establish a Great Koala National Park, but logging advocates question the timing and basis of these plans. Despite the new estimates, koalas remain at risk, and conservation efforts must be targeted effectively to protect them for future generations.
