According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, according to conservation biologist Taylor (Martin Taylor), director of wildlife conservation science at (WWF Australia), WWF Australia, according to the current land reclamation rate, The new state`s koala will be extinct by 2050.
The report, published by WWF Australia and the Nature Conservation Council (NCC), uses selected satellite images from northern New York to assess the extent of land reclamation and its impact on vulnerable and endangered species.
Taylor said that if the land reclamation rate does not recover, there may be serious consequences for local wildlife.
"We see the koala habitat disappearing at an astonishing rate." "the number of koalas is very small, and the people there tell us that the number of koalas is falling sharply," he said. By the middle of this century, there will probably be no more wild koalas in the new state. "
The report found that all or part of the land reclaimed nearly tripled from fiscal year 2016-17 to fiscal year 2017-18, from 2845 hectares to 8194 hectares.
