Koala translocation: malnourished, emaciated and dead

"NSW government rejected expert advice before failed koala reintroduction that left more than half dead.
Eight of the 13 koalas moved from forest near Wollongong to the South East Forest national park near Bega died over a two-month period."

"Documents reveal state environment department had ‘reckless indifference’ to fate of individual koalas, Greens spokesperson Sue Higginson says. The New South Wales government rejected advice from an expert scientific panel before it attempted a failed reintroduction of koalas to a forest in the state’s south that resulted in the death of more than half the animals."

Stressed koalas are facing a deadly epidemic

Researchers have shown that stress and retrovirus levels are tightly linked to disease in koalas. High KoRV loads make koalas more vulnerable to chlamydia, worsening epidemics in stressed populations. Protecting habitats, careful breeding, and antiviral trials are now being pursued to give koalas a fighting chance at survival.
