They are vulnerable to adapt to rapid, human-induced climate change, so they are being exposed to danger. Rising frequency and intensity of droughts can force Koalas to descend from the trees in search of water or new habitats. This makes them particularly vulnerable to wild and domestic predators, as well as to road traffic that is often resulting in death. Furthermore, the increasing atmospheric CO2 levels reduce the nutritional quality of Eucalyptus leaves, which are their main food, causing nutrient shortages in the species. As a result, Koalas may no longer be able to meet their nutritional demands, resulting in malnutrition and
