The Threatened Species Scientific Committee of the Australian Government has put the koala population in the 'hundreds of thousands'. However, the Australia Koala Foundation believes a more realistic outlook is that koala numbers in the wild have dropped to below 80,000.

∙ 13y agoPopulation of the koala in the past has fluctuated. Because the animal was hunted for its fur due to a strong demand by US and European markets, it was on the verge of extinction before the government stepped in and protected it. Between 1919 and 1924 alone, some eight million koalas were killed and their furs sent to market, so it is reasonable to suggest that, in the past, there were millions of koalas in Australia.

Are koala populations currently being monitored?
Koala populations are being monitored, but current methods have their limitations. The Australian Koala Foundation works actively to monitor koala populations, but they have limited resources. Their view is that the Australian koala population has dropped to below 80,000, but because not enough research on individual populations is being done, they cannot be sure of the accuracy of their estimate. The problem is that the Federal Government remains of the belief that koala numbers are much healthier than that. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee of the Australian Government has put the koala population in the 'hundreds of thousands'.
