Koalas are one of the most iconic symbols of Australia, yet they are facing an escalating threat as vast areas of their habitat are cleared to make way for human development. Since 2012, tens of thousands of hectares of koala habitat have been lost to mining and renewable energy projects. But this isn’t just an Australian problem.

As more countries strive to meet their energy demands, similar threats loom over endangered species and ecosystems across the globe.
