1. Koalas currently face the threat of continued habitat destruction, fragmentation, and modification.
2. These changes make them vulnerable to predation by dogs, vehicle strikes, and other factors, bushfires, and disease.
3. There are management problems with many populations; remnant populations living at high densities in isolated patches of habitat are at greatest risk.
4. Climate change is likely to have severe consequences for this species.
5. Koalas are already vulnerable to drought associated mortality in habitat fragments.
