Given the right environment, a koala can reproduce in captivity.
Koalas are not kept as pets anywhere in the world. Koalas that are kept in captivity are in secure sanctuaries or zoos where they have the right sort of eucalyptus trees for their needs. As long as there is not too much stress for them, they can certainly reproduce.

When will the bilby captive breeding program at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary be ready?

How many koalas are there?
It is unknown how many white, or albino, koalas there are in the wild. The number will be very, very small, as albinos are a rarity within captive breeding programmes.
How do captive breeding programs affect genetic diversity?
Captive breeding programs can affect genetic diversity in one of two ways. Within the program itself, genetic diversity is reduced, because captive breeding programs only have a limited number of animals to work with. On the other hand, animals from a captive breeding program that are re-introduced to the wild can increase genetic diversity, because they are bringing genes that may have been gone for a long time back into the gene pool.
Do koalas fight?
Yes. Male koalas will engage in territorial disputes during breeding season.
What species was saved from extinction using captive breeding?
The California condor is a notable species saved from extinction through captive breeding efforts. In the 1980s, the population dwindled to just 27 individuals due to habitat loss and lead poisoning. Conservationists initiated a captive breeding program, and through dedicated efforts, the population has since increased to over 500 birds, with many now living in the wild. This success story highlights the effectiveness of captive breeding in wildlife conservation.
