Koalas are not endangered. However, having said that, one of the koala's earliest threats came from the United States. There was a time during the late 1800s when koalas became an export commodity for their fur, mostly for export to the USA. As a result, koala numbers dwindled to very low figures and, due to public outrage, laws were enacted protecting the koala and imports were banned by the USA in the late 1920s. However, the koala was not endangered at this time; nor has it yet been classified as 'endangered'.
