How will global warming affect the koalas?

The main way in which climate change is likely to affect koalas is that the frequency and intensity of bushfires in Australia will probably increase. Bushfires, of course, kill koalas. Eucalyptus bushland will always regenerate after a bushfire - that is the way Australian native plants are designed - so, while koalas are unlikely to lose their food source anytime soon, the impact of bushfires on the koala population can be quite devastating. Koalas simply have nowhere to run and hide.
