As a national treasure animal, koala can be called Australia's martial arts "cute" master!
Its status in Australian Village is equivalent to the status of pandas in my great heaven, with countless bright blind halos on top of its head.
Koala's charismatic appearance has sprouted everyone's heart with every move.
The characteristics of dull and cute, coupled with the attribute of lethargy, make koalas always have a high popularity in Australia.
But a recent report shows that koalas are at risk of extinction!
It's likely to disappear forever like a dodo!
According to (AKF), the Australian koala Foundation, koalas have been declared functional extinct!
Functional extinction refers to the fact that there are only 80,000 existing wild koalas left, which is not enough to support the reproduction of the next generation.
In addition, according to AKF, koalas' habitat has been severely damaged due to persistent high temperatures in Australia.
Although koalas don't usually drink water, they get water from leaves. But high temperatures and heat waves have led to extensive deforestation, and koalas have even been cut down because of the loss of water.
I crave to death!
The impressionist has reported before that the number of koalas in the new state has been declining rapidly over the years, if it develops at this rate.
By 2050, the koalas of the new state may be completely extinct.
It was as a result of the abolition of the Primary vegetation Act (NSW Native Vegetation Act), in 2017 that a large number of koalas per day were razed to the ground by bulldozers.
In the Moree and Collarenebri areas alone, more than 5000 hectares of koala habitat have been destroyed.
Experts say if the rate of land reclamation does not fall in the future, it will do great harm to the wildlife that survive here.
"We are seeing koalas habitat disappearing at an amazing rate," experts said.
"the number of koalas is very small, and the number of koalas is falling sharply. By 2050, there may be no more wild koalas in the new state."
Currently, of the 128 koalas known by the federal environmental agency, only 41 still survive.
Even more terrible, if a new disease or any genetic pathogen is present, the surviving Kola will soon die!
Deborah Tabart, Chairman of AKF, said:
"I know that Australians are concerned about koalas' safety and are tired of seeing dead koalas on our way.
I call on the new prime minister after the May election to promulgate the koala Protection Act (KPA), which has been drafted and ready since 2016. "
The koala Protection Act was based on the United States Condor Act (Bald Eagle Act), which succeeded in saving the national symbol of the United States from the list of endangered species.
In order to protect the cute koalas from disappearing,
It's time to give koalas the same respect.
