Показать описание
A koala wandered into a petrol station in South Australia and decided to hang around while other customers were served.
Koala populations in South Australia are considered to be abundant, but their conservation status was downgraded to endangered, from vulnerable, in NSW, Queensland and the ACT, by the federal government last year.
Urbanisation and habitat loss are among the contributing factors.
Since 2001, koala populations in NSW have declined by between 33 and 61 per cent, with a state parliamentary inquiry in 2020 warning the marsupial would likely become extinct before the middle of the century without urgent intervention.
At least 6,400 koalas were wiped out by the 2019/20 summer bushfires alone.
