*Ø* East coast koalas could die out
"The Federal Government has been asked to list Australia's koalas as a vulnerable species, with new research showing the animals could be extinct in the eastern states within 15 years.
"The Australian Koala Foundation has been conducting surveys of 1,000 sites along the east coast and says the population is being decimated by urban sprawl, roads through the middle of koala habitat and dogs."

There are many places I've lived where I've been tempted to erect a billboard: "Welcome to [name of town or suburb], where we prefer dogs from Europe to native koalas". Grrrr
