This viral @Forbes story about koalas is false. Please ignore it! Koalas aren’t suddenly “functionally extinct” & the fires have NOT destroyed 80% of their habitat.

Hundreds of koalas have been hurt in the fires, and it’s very sad, but it’s so important to get facts right. pic.twitter.com/tvaoSTBi2q
