It is not known how many koalas there were in 1900, but at this stage, they were very close to extinction. Demand from the US and the UK for koala fur meant that hunters were decimating these animals, just for their pelts. It was only when the Austalian government brought in legislation to protect the koala that numbs began to rise again.

∙ 11y agoThere are no accurate figures for koala numbers 100 years ago. What is known is that, in the early 20th century, koala numbers were at a critical low. This was before laws were in place to protect koalas, so these marsupials were hunted to satisfy the fur trade, particularly to satisfy demand for the soft fur from the USA.
