Koalas face death, attacks and starvation as blue gums chopped down in Victoria

According to this, thousands of koalas are being displaced each year as blue gum plantations are cut down in Victoria, worsening overcrowding in nearby forests and exacerbating the risk of injury and death during bushfires. An estimated 42,500 koalas live in blue gum plantations in south-west Victoria, according to data, and between 8,000 and 10,000 hectares of plantation are harvested each year, making thousands of my brethren homeless.

Scientists say the displaced koalas cross roads used by logging trucks. They move into trees along road reserves on neighboring properties and nearby forests, which they soon strip bare, which some migrated into adjacent plantations, only to be evicted again the following year. This makes me angry, and needs to be stopped for these gentle brethren of mine.
