Koalas live in native Australian sclerophyll forest, commonly known as eucalyptus bushland. Within this bushland, koalas do not have any particular ecological role, as they are not pollinators, and nor do they modify their environment in any significant way.

The koala is a symbol of Australia. It symbolises all that is unique about Australia, the land "down under". Its conservation status is also a symbol of the health of Australia's environment. As the koala's status inches closer towards "endangered", this hopefully raises people's awareness that the koala's habitat is under threat, which means the status of other animals is also under threat. Australians need to ensure they preserve the unique wildlife in the country.

Koalas fill the same ecological role that sloths do in South America. They keep trees trimmed and help to repopulate eucalyptus trees in their native Australia.

They are very cute, eat eucalyptus leaves and attract tourists.
