Koalas Too Successful? Science Finds Solution

Koalas in South Australia are thriving—too much so. Scientists warn a 25% population surge in 25 years could crash their numbers as habitats can’t support such density. Unlike declining koala populations elsewhere, this boom is a conservation crisis. Researchers turned to computer models and citizen data to reveal overpopulation in key areas, making culling or relocation impractical or controversial. The solution? A targeted fertility control program to stabilize numbers ethically and efficiently—before climate change and habitat loss make things worse.
