Since 2001, koala numbers in NSW have decreased by 33 percent to 61 percent, with at least 6,400 dead in the Black Summer bushfires.
If nothing is done, koalas in NSW may become extinct by 2050.
Due to deforestation, drought, and bushfires, Queensland s koala population has decreased by at least 50% since 2001.
In 2012, koala populations in both states and those in the ACT were designated as vulnerable.
