> the Koalas would eat the leaves of Eucalyptus trees, reducing the fire risk Sadly that won’t work. Koalas hardly make a dent in the consumption of eucalyptus trees. And on top of that, mature Eucalyptus leaves are extremely dry, so koalas will only eat the youngest shoots. So if they had any impact on the trees, it would be making them more flammable, not less.
