Many of us Queenslanders are lucky to have koalas living amongst us.
To keep our koalas thriving and safe…
we take precautions driving slow in ʻkoala-signedʻ road areas, keeping our dogs and koalas apart and protecting mature 40-year old plus trees which koalas call home.
Many of us are also aware that our koala populations are suffering from general diseases like chlamydia.
What are the implications for them and what is being done to battle koala chlamydia?
