Koalas

Why is the koala endangered? The koalas live in eucalyptus forests in Australia . Althouoh the koalas are protected by the law but the eucalyptus trees aren't.
In 1788, when Australia was colonized, there were between seven or ten milion of koalas while now there are only 100.000.
In the 1920s three milion koalas were used for their skin to make clothing items.
An adult koala eats one kilogram leaves each night.
The solution to save the kialas is to stop the urbanization and destruction of their habitats in Australia.
