Australia’s koala paradox: why is the beloved marsupial endangered in parts but overabundant in others? | Wildlife | The Guardian. The article explores the paradox of koala populations in Australia, where some areas face overabundance while others face endangerment. In southern Australia, koalas have thrived due to suitable habitats and lack of predators, leading to overpopulation and food scarcity. Meanwhile, in northeastern states, koalas are endangered due to habitat loss, land-clearing, and climate change. The article highlights the complexity of managing koala populations and the need for sustainable solutions.
