Australia already classifies east coast koalas as vulnerable, their numbers under pressure from logging, urban encroachment and a pervasive infection. As well, bushfires across New South Wales and Queensland states in 2019 and 2020 are estimated to have killed as many as 30% of the population. Scientists and academics have warned that the iconic Australian mammal could become extinct by 2050 in New South Wakes, and Ley said she has asked the country s Threatened Species Scientific Committee to consider including koalas on its endangered species list.

Humpback whales: Conservation groups warn against removing the whales too quickly from the endangered species list

“Humpback whales will remain protected in Australian waters, but they are a good candidate for delisting because their numbers have increased,” Dr Pirotta said. “This is a good news story. This is an opportunity for us to focus our conservation efforts on species that have more need, like the southern right whale.” The Threatened Species Scientific Committee, which provides independent advice to federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley, is responsible for making proposals for adding or removing listed species under the act. Ms Ley will have the final say. Listed species get extra protection, and any action that could impact on them – such as land clearing or project development – must undergo an environmental assessment.
