Australia: Dozens of Koalas Killed at Timber Plantation
-------------------------------------------------------

In Australia, dozens of koalas have been killed or injured at a timber
plantation in the southeastern state of Victoria, where
environmentalists say they were bulldozed in order to harvest the blue
gum trees, a vital koala habitat. Australia's record-breaking bushfires
have already killed tens of thousands of koalas and an estimated 1
billion animals since September.
