the sad truth is ...

they need to be listed as endangered which is a level higher ... don't be fooled by the awesome healthy koalas that I see in my protected sanctuary

[Diana]

That is very sad indeed, I though the numbers were rapidly rising again.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So sad , that such sweet , gentle little creatures have dwindled ,may sanctuaries like yours , continue to protect them and hopefully keep them from the next stage of becoming endangered !

[Sh]

You are doing a great job for them and keeping all us followers of you involved.

[Babs]

You must feel good that you are doing your best to save the koalas

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@ludwigsdiana no I'm afraid if things only go the way they are (no more extreme weather events), they will be extinct by 2050 I'm afraid, and that may be conservative. definitely working hard to stop this of course ...

[KV]

Gorgeous picture… so happy & thankful for people like you… not only have you created a safe space but you work so hard to educate people about the plight of the koalas.

[leggzy]

How sad ☹☹☹ keep up the great work youre doing 👍

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! A hard fact to swallow. 😢

[Bill]

That possibility is so sad.

[Merrelyn]

It's sad fact.

[Joanne Diochon]

Is it mostly loss of territory and source of food that is causing them problems?

[Mags]

We can't let that happen.

[wendy frost]

You and people like you are the Koalas saving angels hope your good work makes a great difference for the future.

[Sue]

Thank goodness for people such as you who are looking out for these lovely chaps.

[Corinne C]

I hope we'll be able to reverse that situation!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

That is so sad to hear. They are such beautiful animals.

[Kate]

There was news this morning that the USA is declaring one type of woodpecker and 22 other species as extinct. So sad. Hope koalas can recover with efforts such as yours.

[carol white]

Let's hope their numbers increase, and they aren't decimated by bush fires again

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[bruni]

Oh this is heartbreaking news. Is there way, us as your friends can help out somehow.

[RonM]

Dying of excessive cuteness perhaps...

[Jane Pittenger]

He looks pretty discouraged about it…as am I

[Nina Ganci]

he looks so comfy hiding behind the branches

Great shot. With all of your healthy ones, doesn't seem like it would be a problem, but like you said, that just in your area.
