On monday, a parlement survey of hearings will hear that weeks of forest fires in new south wales have left more than 2000 koalas dead.
Scientists will provide new evidence that thousands of local marsupial animals have been buried in flames and large areas of habitat have been lost.
Shane Flanagan (Cheyne Flanagan), clinical director of Port koala Hospital in Macquarie, said: "it is said that we have lost as much as 1/3 koalas habitat and that there are more than 2000 koalas death on the north coast, which should be a wake-up call for government to take action to protect koala habitat.
Delampuger (Dailan Pugh), chairman and ecologist of the Northeast Forest alliance, will hold an emergency hearings in the House of Lords on Monday to discuss the extent of damage to koalas, which had previously been estimated at hundreds of koalas.
Recent fires have destroyed thousands of hectares of koala habitat in northern New South Wales and southeast Queensland.
In addition to the thousands of koalas that could be burned to death, as much as a third of their habitat on the northern coast of New South Wales may have been lost, Mr Pug predicts.
For example, Sue Ashton, director of Port Macquarie koala Hospital, said a jungle fire in Crest Wood is estimated to have burned at least 350 koalas, based on a forecast death rate of 60 percent.
At the same time, Queensland is taking steps to protect land and declare that important habitats will not be affected by any new developments.
Queensland Prime Minister Anastasia Parazchuck (Annastacia Palaszczuk) told ABC: "there will be some limited open space for fire prevention, but that`s basically it."
"this is about the sustainability of a fragile species."
A conservation strategy developed by government, Queensland, identified 150,700 hectares of public and private land for the restoration of koalas habitat.
Environmental minister Lee Anne Enoch said: "We need to build these corridors so that koalas can thrive. instead of growing in small pockets."
"these areas are really important areas that need to be maintained, but they also need to find a link to the rest of the corridor," Ms. Enoch said. Green councillor Kate Fehmann, chairman of the NSW investigation, said the disappearance of koalas should be a wake-up call.
"Today`s hearings is timely and necessary," Ms. Fehmann said in a statement. "We will listen to some of the leading experts on koalas, jungle fires and climate change in Australia. ".
Cheyne Flanagan, clinical director of Macquarie Koala Hospital, and local firefighters, as well as representatives of the National Parks and Wildlife Service and New South Wales Planning, Industry and Environment, will also testify.
"We will also listen to suggestions that must be taken as a matter of urgency to ensure that these fires do not lead to an irreversible reduction in the New South Wales tree bag bear," Ms. Fehmann said.
On Sunday night, the Rural Fire Department said there were 91 bush and grass fires in New South Wales,48 of which were uncontrolled.
Koalas are classified as vulnerable in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
