Personally, I love koalas they are adorable and the thought of them being extinct is very scary. Currently, koala populations are on the decline and while people may be trying to help there still is no vaccine to help them. There has been some research done that shows that some populations of koalas do not have Chlamydia, however, how long will it be until they do have it. In my opinion, this is a terrible disease and needs more attention. If more attention is not given to the koalas it's only a matter of time before they are gone from this world completely. One of the more problematic things this disease causes is infertility. This could be catastrophes to wild and captive koalas. There may be a time where we have plenty of koalas left but they are unable to reproduce. Hopefully, more studies like this are done on Chlamydia and its effects on the koala.
