There are different methods, none of which give accurate figures for koala populations.
Most of this work is done by volunteers or researchers who conduct surveys by observations or by electronic tagging.
For the individual who is keen to learn more about how koala populations are monitored, click on the related link below. It takes you through to various koala research projects currently underway in Queensland.
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'.

populations of different species in the ocean should be monitored so that there is always source of food for the other ocean animals.
The koala does not transmit any diseases to humans. However, they do spread disease within their own populations. A major threat to the koala populations of Australia is the organism chlamydia, which has four major effects:blindnesspneumoniaurinary tract infectionreproductive tract infections, ultimately rendering animals infertile.Scientists are still working on a cure, as this disease is easily spread, and decimating some of the populations on the mainland.
Ozone layer is being monitored by scientists. Satellites are roaming in space for it.
Koalas are known to carry several diseases, the most notable being chlamydia, which can lead to infertility and eye infections. They are also susceptible to koala retrovirus (KoRV), which can compromise their immune systems. Other diseases include bacterial infections and various parasites. These health issues pose significant threats to koala populations, especially in the wild.
More than 150,000 offenders are being monitored at home.

The Australian Koala Foundation (see the related link below) offers a variety of services and information about the koala. In addition, at this site one can find out what is being done by authorities to help the koala, and what the everyday person can do.

The 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". However, they have all but disappeared from the NSW central coast.
The koala is not endangered. However, it is at risk of a particular disease. Koala numbers are dropping partially as a result of the organism chlamydia, which has four major effects:blindnesspneumoniaurinary tract infectionreproductive tract infections, ultimately rendering animals infertile.Scientists are still working on a cure, as this disease is decimating some of the populations on the mainland.
