Hey #climatetwitter: On koala's being "functionally extinct", I wanted to highlight the science. TLDR; It's unlikely koalas will be going extinct in Australia overall, however we're seeing more local populations being wiped out. Still heartbreaking 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/

Here's the article everyone is sharing for reference: https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2019/11/23/koalas-functionally-extinct-after-australia-bushfires-destroy-80-of-their-habitat/#493c36ea7bad

Here'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
