Why has Australia listed koalas as 'endangered'
Australia has listed the koala as an endangered species across most of its east coast, after a dramatic decline in numbers.
The once-thriving marsupial has been ravaged by land clearing, bushfires, drought, disease and other threats.
Australia's Environment Minister, Sussan Ley, explains why climate change and chlamydia is playing a big role in their decline.
