Koala

Clode, Danielle. Koala: A Natural History and an Uncertain Future. Colingwood: Schwartz Books, 2022.

"Paradoxically, the childlike appeal of the koala may be the foremost impediment to its effective conservation. It compels us to help individuals, yet in doing so we sometimes lose sight of the health of the species as a whole. Despite this tendency, there are indications of how we can help. The healthiest populations have all resulted from the translocation of individuals into new habitats that previously lacked koalas. Perhaps the most important part that humans will have in protecting them is to continue moving them around the country."
