Hey #climatetwitter: On koala& #39;s being "functionally extinct", I wanted to highlight the science. TLDR; It& #39;s unlikely koalas will be going extinct in Australia overall, however we& #39;re seeing more local populations being wiped out. Still heartbreaking https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Broken heart" aria-label="Emoji: Broken heart"> #ixzz669JONx8Ohttps://www.newscientist.com/article/2203655-no-koalas-are-not-functionally-extinct-but-they-are-in-trouble/">https://www.newscientist.com/article/2203655-no-koalas-are-not-functionally-extinct-but-they-are-in-trouble/ #ixzz669JONx8Ohttps://www.newscientist.com/article/2203655-no-koalas-are-not-functionally-extinct-but-they-are-in-trouble/">https://www.newscientist.com/article/2...

Here& #39;s another great piece on how species population biology is complex & we should be cautious about how the science is framed. https://twitter.com/Constababble/status/1198387161331929088?s=19">https://twitter.com/Constabab...
