What are the key threats to koalas?

Habitat loss and fragmentation through urbanisation and resulting impacts - such as car strikes and dog attacks - are the most common causes of koala deaths.  Disease is also a key threatening process, and underestimated in magnitude. You can search (from the member page) on cause of death and injury, or for a listing of koala sightings in your own area, or view the map, to see what is impacting koalas where you live.
