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.
There's a 91% that koalas disappear just because people are cutting trees in total there are 40.000 koalas from the 30,000,000 koalas that were alive.

It is unknown how many white, or albino, koalas there are in the wild. The number will be very, very small, as albinos are a rarity within captive breeding programmes.
Yes, koalas are wild animals.
Koalas can be quite dangerous, if they are in the wild DO NOT TOUCH THEM, if you are at a petting zoo and the person who works there says its ok to touch and pet them then YOU CAN TOUCH THEM
