Federal government has officially listed koalas as ‘endangered’ along Australia's east coast to protect shrinking populations.
The Environment Minister, Sussan Ley, has accepted the recommendation of the threatened species scientific committee that the koala populations of Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory should have their conservation status listed as endangered, instead of vulnerable.
快播色情片 has a range of experts available to offer expert comment on this development.
