Letter: Move the koalas

Published 3 April 2004

From Linda Shields, University of Limerick

It is somewhat disconcerting to read of the dilemma for the South Australian state government, which doesn’t know what to do with the excess of koalas on Kangaroo Island (6 March, p 5). Surely many koalas can be moved to other parts of Australia where the numbers have reached critically low levels?
