How did koalas become endangered?

In: Koalas [Edit categories]

Answer:

Koalas are not officially endangered.
Their status varies from "secure" or "common" in many areas to "vulnerable" in localised regions such as southeast Queensland.

Even international conservation groups cannot agree. Meanwhile, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the koala as "potentially vulnerable", while the US Endangered Species Act lists the koala as "threatened".
