  4. How Many Are There Left In the World? • There are under 100, 000 koalas left in the world. • There were originally 10, 000, 000! • In the wild there are just as few as 45, 000

  5. Death rate • Human population increase in Australia is driving koalas to extinction • The Australian foundation did an experiment and found out that out of 362 koalas taken into care only 92 survived , a shocking 73.5% death rate. • At the moment the koalas status is endangered and almost extinct
