About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

There is no Federal Legislation to protect the koala.There used to be millions of Koalas. In the 1920's and 1930's hundreds of thousands of koalas were slaughtered each year. There are now about 80,000 koalas. The koala population is falling due to habitat destruction,disease, cars and dogs. Australia's treatment of koalas is shameful .
