    Koalas are described as being loved all over the country but also looking very strange. Forests are destroyed because more and more roads, houses and people move to koala habitat areas. Ms. Deborah Tabart works for the Australian Koala Foundation. Over 80% of original koala habitat has been destroyed in the last 200 years. The National Koala Act would help control clearing of forests. There are now estimated to be around 100,000 koalas in Australia.
