koala bears conservation

Today ,I will be doing Koala bears conservations.It is also a reserch done in my group.
Koala bears are no longer found in south australia as they are all wiped out however koala bears found in the north are captured and were released in suitable forest in the south.
Koala bears are founded my the first europeans in australia in the year of 1700,there are about 10 millions or more but for the past two centuries,the populations had dropped dramatically.Scientists believe that there are about 100,000 to 200,000 koala bears now.
Koala bears are currently not an endangered animal but their loss for habitat will cause them to extinct sooner or later.Now,australia goverment made new laws to protect them.Australians are trying to protect eucalyptus trees,which is their source of food,so that there will be enough for them to eat.
Koala bears is not eay to keep in captivity as they are fussy eaters but there are sucessful breeding programmes.
Koalas are a protected species, which means that people cannot take them from the wild or have them in their possession without a special permit. It also means koalas cannot be kept as pets. However, although these laws exist to protect koalas themselves, the laws fail to protect the eucalyptus woodlands where they live, and without eucalyptus trees there would be no koalas.
There are a few ways to protect koala bears

• Create more habitats for koalas by restoring eucalyptus forest.
  
• Protect young trees from sheep and rabbits with fences
  

• Link koala woodlands by planting trees between them, forming corridors that koala can move through freely.

Artificial birth control is one method that has been used to reduce the number of koalas on the island. So far almost 3,500 animals on the island have been sterilized (so they can no longer breed) and released back into the wild. Around 1,200 of these have now been relocated to the mainland. However, not all scientists agree with this solution.
