Other factors also affect the koala population. One of these factors includes increase of atmospheric Carbon (IV) oxide. An increase in this gas lowers the nutritional value of the eucalyptus trees that the animals largely feed on. This will result into starvation and malnutrition because the trees will not meet their nutritional demands. Frequent droughts also threaten the survival of these animals. The animals depend on vegetation for their survival. Droughts cause death of plants and reduce the amount of water available for both human and animal survival. Rapid urban and industrial development also threatens their survival. Urban and industrial development induces a climate change. The kolas have been unable to adapt the rapid
