Humans have done a great deal to hurt koalas, both directly and indirectly.
During the late 1800s, koalas became an export commodity for their fur, mostly for export to the USA. Due to koala numbers dwindling and public outrage, laws were enacted protecting the koala and imports were banned by the USA in the late 1920s. Due to farming, land clearing and hunting, native koalas were eradicated from South Australia.
Modern times are nit much better in many ways. Some people are simply cruel, and there are numerous cases each year of koalas being shot. Humans indirectly hurt koalas by destroying their habitat for housing or commercial developments. Humans also hurt koalas indirectly by not carefully supervising their domestic pets. Dogs are one of the main killers of koalas in urban areas.

They introduce non-native species to destroy the habitat; they clear known koala bushland; they allow their unsupervised dogs to kill koalas and their unsupervised children to shoot them with air gun pellets.
