Isn't much of the loss of habitat due to wildfires?

From what I'm reading it has been ongoing for a very long time and it looks like it will still be going on...6,400 koala were killed in the last fire. The guestimate now is that around 43,000 are left.

That's sad stuff.

Those Aussies have had their share of crap to deal with over the last few years.

For sure, but government's job is to step up out of their ivory towers and get to work.

"There is much we can do. In the short term, we can help our natural ecosystems recover from the drought and fires. Government agencies and land owners can cull and manage invasive species in fire-affected areas - from weeds, to foxes, cats and feral horses - and stop damaging logging in fire-affected areas.

Individuals can do their bit. We can donate money or time to organisations committed to helping ecosystems recover. Record what you see on bushwalks to help environmental managers monitor and assist ecological recovery."
