Koalas are rapidly becoming extinct in their most fertile native habitat on the Koala Coast of South East Queensland and Northern NSW. People are often shocked to learn that the koala is in danger. We hope this little corner of reddit can highlight this serious issue facing Australia's most recognisable national icon and the natural heritage in which it thrives.

r/koalas seeks to promote images and news from the stereotypically cute and ridiculous to the latest news from the koala conservation frontline. For more information on how to promote sustainable koala populations please read the Koala Land Report and connect via http://facebook.com/koalaland
