Koalas are not poached for their fur. There was a time when the population of these animals dropped to dangerously low levels, due to the fur trade. this was in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but the fur trade was unfortunately quite legitimate. There was a great market in the US and the UK for koala skins. They are now protected by law.

There is no known poaching of koalas in modern times. Koalas were once hunted for their fur, but the practice was quite legal. Once protection of Australian native animals came into effect in the mid 1900s, hunting stopped.
