Besides being found on the mainland of the Australian continent, koalas are also found on numerous coastal islands. They are particularly prolific on Kangaroo Island, which lies off the coast of South Australia. The reason their population is so high on Kangaroo Island is because it is a protected environment, and there is an absence of predators there.

Are koalas a nuisance on Kangaroo Island?
Koalas are not necessarily a nuisance on Kangaroo Island, but there is an over-population problem, due to the lack of predators on Kangaroo Island. There are problems associated with what to do with so many koalas. There are issues with relocating koalas because it is too difficult for them to integrate into an area which is not their natural territory if koalas already populate that region. The suggestion has been made that the Kangaroo Island koalas be culled. This has led to an enormous outcry from the public and conservationists. One possible solution could be to relocate them to an area where there are no koala populations. Koalas have been introduced into protected colonies in Western Australia, and their favoured eucalyptus trees have also been introduced for their food supply. This would be a humane solution to the problem of the koalas on Kangaroo Island.

Koalas did not voluntarily go to Kangaroo Island, off the South Australian coast. They were relocated there. During the twentieth century, koalas had disappeared from South Australia, and moving them to Kangaroo Island (and parts of the Fleurieu Peninsula) was an attempt to repopulated South Australia with koalas. The attempt has been very successful - some would say too successful, as Kangaroo Island now has an overpopulation problem, with the debate continuing on whether some of the koala population should perhaps be relocated yet again. The reason why koalas were moved to Kangaroo Island is the lack of predators. One of the main predators of koalas are dingoes, and there are no dingoes on Kangaroo Island.
