8000 koalas were killed, and koalas are at risk of extinction
According to the New Zealand Herald, Sydney ecologists estimate that 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles have died since the outbreak of mountain fires in Australia last September. About 8000 koalas were killed in the mountain fire, which is one of the worst affected animals. Animal protection organizations said that due to the lack of corresponding agreements and procedures, there are no resources and plans to save koala populations.
