Koalas used to live in South Australia. During the late 1800s, koalas became an export commodity for their fur, mostly for export to the USA. By the time laws were enacted protecting the koala and imports were banned by the USA in the late 1920s, the koala had been driven to extinction in South Australia.
New colonies have been introduced in South Australia, and within these protected environments, the koala is thriving, particularly on kangaroo island, where there is actually an overpopulation problem. New colonies have also been introduced to parts of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
