Are there many live streams of Koalas?

I follow the koalas at the San Diego Zoo most days. Just wondering: aren't there others too? I've had a quick search online and not found anything that compares (although I didn't check paywalled ones). Here's what I've found and I'd appreciate any better recommendations:

San Diego Zoo live stream here: https://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/cams/koala-cam
Zoo Life TV claims to have a stream but I can't verify without paying a subscription: https://app.zoolife.tv/home
Edinburgh Zoo has a stream but "there appears to be a problem" https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/animals/webcams/koala-cam
Mango Link Cam claims to stream from Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, but it's offline: https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/animals/webcams/koala-cam.

Anyway, I really feel for these creatures. I've met so many Australians who think they are safe now because the government has officially "protected" them. That is an absolute con, because their habitat is being destroyed at rapid pace to satisfy loggers, miners, you name it - everyone except the wildlife. It's a deliberate loophole to pacify public sentiment but signing the death warrant of the wildlife.

I was part of a letter writing group years ago that wrote to politicians and supported other campaigns and I have a few detailed books about koalas. I even considered growing eucalyptus here in Ireland (which is very possible) in the hopes that we could manage a small population here until it's safe to return to Australia, but unfortunately life has had other plans and I could not get into farming.

Well, I did start this community because I really feel for what is happening to the koalas, or my brethren, since I'm known as Koala Mother.

After rereading this, I think we need live streams of active logging areas in Eastern Australia so the moment we see a poor koala falling out of a eucalyptus tree being cut down, it will be time to take action to get it shut down.

That’s a good idea. I don’t know what the local laws are in relation to filming those locations, but as long as koala habitat is basically open season for loggers something should be done.

Yeah, we would need to find out what the local laws are regarding the installation of live stream cameras in active logging locations in Eastern Australia in koala territory, because if that can be done and a poor koala is spotted falling out of a eucalyptus tree that is under threat of being felled, then we can have those who are in Australia and are for protecting koalas immediately mobilize and head to the location to put a stop to it.

Seeing as koalas sleep so much of the day away it wouldn't make sense to stream.

They don’t all sleep at the same time, necessarily, but I enjoy watching them regardless.
