KOALA

By Stephen Jackson

Origins of an icon

In this fascinating story of the koala, respected biologist and author Stephen Jackson examines not only the ecology, behaviour and history of this extraordinary animal, but also ongoing threats such as disease and habitat loss, and the controversial debate about how to best manage the remaining populations of Australia's favourite marsupial.

Australia's best-loved animal is recognised around the world, but not much is widely known of its fascinating history and unique ecology.
