In previous project work, the number of koalas was not known but distribution had been recorded an area of 2000 square kilometres in featuring manna gum and the nationally endangered Eyre Peninsula blue gum woodland communities. To , there is no evidence to suggest that koalas can self-regulate their numbers as kangaroos do. There were koalas might eventually consume all the available food in an area, resulting in their own .
