When you think Australia, you think of koalas, but this could change... Koala populations have been on the decline for several years and since recent wildfires ravaged Australian forests the animal has been placed on the country's endangered species list in 2022. Increased stress levels puts the animal at a higher risks of contracting diseases like chlamydia or lukemia. Only a few tens of thousands remain in the country today.
