Koalas have never been on the endangered species list. 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. However, this was before conservation classifications were put into place.
The koala is not extinct, it is not even endangered. They are considered to be "Secure".

∙ 15y agoThe NSW Government listed the koala as "rare and vulnerable" in 1992, and following protective measures which have seen koala populations regenerate, this has been changed to "vulnerable". It should be said that koalas enjoy a very healthy population in Victoria, and new colonies in South Australia are also thriving. They are common throughout Queensland, except in the southeastern corner where intense urbanisation has rendered them vulnerable.

∙ 13y agoOriginally, the decline in the koala population began as a result of the fur trade in the late 19th century and early 20th century The population revived considerably after Australian native animals came under protective laws in the mid-twentieth century, but they never returned to the hundreds of thousands they had been in the first hundred years of Australia's settlement.
More recent declines have come about as a result of extensive habitat loss due to land-clearing for agricultural, residential and industrial development, mostly in the 1990s.
