In a recent piece of news coming in from Australia, an estimated 37,000 koalas have been killed in wildfires so far. According to Steven Selwood of South Australia Veterinary Emergency Manment, re are only 9,000 koalas that remain out of 46,000 that were thought to be on island before this year's bushfire. Australian Environment Minister Sussan Ley h earlier suggested that koalas be listed as endangered species after ir population took an eye-opening hit by ongoing bushfires in country. Some experts estimate that 80 per cent of koala habitat on Kangaroo Island has been wiped out after island was ravd by fire. Koalas were alrey listed as vulnerable before fires started and w Sussan Ley's suggestion to list m as endangered is being welcomed by conservationists and environmentalists.
