James (James), a sorghum farmer living in (Gunnedah), Trinidad, often sees koala in his home, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. At the end of last year, he found a koala on his fertiliser. Inkoala clung to the railing in front of the fertiliser, and James drove two kilometers back to the forest.
James said, "I`ve seen koalas on poles, even in cabins, but I`ve never seen koalas in cars." I hope koala can find a happy home somewhere. "
According to a report released by scientists earlier this year, the number of koalas in the new state has shrunk by nearly 1/4 over the past 20 years, and there are now only 36000, so people rarely see koalas in their own state. The total number of koalas in Australia is estimated to be 330000, but since the 1990s, the number of koalas in regions such as Pirague (Pillaga) has plummeted by 80 percent.
On Friday, University of Queensland researcher Christine Adams-Hosking released a report on the number of koalas in Queensland. She says the acceleration of urbanization and the reclamation of land threaten koala`s survival. What`s more, climate change has a serious impact on land and sea, and animals have to increase their tolerance to nature.
"the maximum temperature that koalas can tolerate is 37.7 degrees Celsius, but in some koala habitats, temperatures can reach 40 degrees. There is no doubt that the climate has affected koala, "said Hoskin."
Trinidad lost 25 percent of its koala during the 2009 heat wave, according to a report from the World wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Australia) in Australia. In addition, the population growth in some areas, such as Port Macquarie-Hastings, poses a threat to koala`s survival. In addition, car and dog attacks and the spread of disease are also contributing to the decrease in koala numbers.
