Manage episode 248018510 series 2392374
As bushfires rage in Australia, the plight of the koala made front-page news around the world. There were warnings that fires wiped out 80% of the marsupial's habitat and that koalas are facing extinction.
We check the claims with the help of National Geographic's Natasha Daly and Dr Christine Hosking of the University of Queensland.
