As with many politicians it would seem, so far, Mr. Garrett is all talk and no action. There has been no new legisilation presented or adopted to protect the koala since his election. Now, conservationists want him to put-up or shut-up. They have written a strongly-worded letter reminding him of his campaign promises. Their hope is that he will upgrade the status of the marsupial to “vulnerable” and thusly, ensure he is protected by law.

The koala is in danger because of habit-loss, fires, random violent weirdos, domestic animals (bad ubu!) and limited access to food.

Just exactly how much can a koala bear?

Random interesting fact:

“Koalas have 5 digits on each front paw, two of which are opposed to the others, much like our thumbs are able to be moved differently from the fingers. This helps them to hold firmly onto the branches and to grip their food. The 2nd and 3rd digits on their hind paws are fused together to form a grooming claw.” Source: Save the Koala
