Best Answer

The status of the Koala varies from state to state, and there is currently no Federal listing.

Koalas occur naturally in only four of Australia's states.

  • In New South Wales, it is listed as Vulnerable.
  • In Queensland, the koala is listed as Vulnerable in the southeast, and Common throughout the remainder of the state.
  • There is no official listing for Victoria, as some koala colonies actually suffer from overpopulation, and so the government has not adopted any management regimes.
  • In South Australia, the koala is listed as Rare.

The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) lists the koala as Least concern.

When did koalas become secure?

Koalas are not "secure" in all areas. Their conservation status varies from region to region within the eastern states of Australia, and this status has also changed from region to region in the last decade or so. For example, koalas were once secure in southeast Queensland, enjoying a very healthy population; since March 2004, their status has been changed to "vulnerable". Meanwhile, in areas of NSW, they have been considered "secure" since 1998.

Are Queensland koalas endangered?

The koala is not endangered. They are considered to be "Secure". The conservation status of koalas varies from region to region in Australia. For example, due to farming, land clearing and habitat loss, native koalas were eradicated from Western Australia and South Australia in the last century, but moves have been made to reestablish new colonies in both states. Currently, koalas are thriving on Kangaroo Island in SA, and in other isolated colonies. Koalas are still listed as "common" in most parts of Queensland, but in the southeast region of Queensland, their status has been changed to "vulnerable". the NSW Givernment listed the koala as "rare and vulnerable" in 1992, and following protective measures, this has been changed to "vulnerable". In Victoria, the koala is not on the threatened species list at all, and in some protected and remote regions, there is actually an overpopulationproblem.
