From videos i have seen of them they aren't really scared of humans and that might be part of why they die so much. They just kinda hang out and don't care. And then stuff kills them cause their not being careful

Not necessarily, but if they dont serve a purpose I'm not going to be sad if they cease existence

Koalas are more messed up than what people can do.

They evolved to eat a shitty diet (somewhat literally) that they can't really handle.

Most have tons of STDs, I think like close to 90% have an STD.

They have super low fertility rates too.

Not really sure how much people can really do.

Can we do pugs next? We've engineered them to have permanent spinal problems, the inability to breathe properly even when sitting down, and giant eyes that literally fall out of their skulls when they get older sometimes. Let's do nature a service and make them extinct next.

They do serve a purpose. They are used as examples of the bizarre animals in Australia, and fosters a healthy xenophobia regarding that ecosystem. They also serve the purpose of having their picture taken so people who are unaware of their degeneracy can go awwwww.

So an animal that most people think is adorable and are completely unaware of their degeneracy is used to foster... xenophobia?

If I had to endure the disgrace of having to eat pap (mother's poop) growing up, I would probably refuse to breed resulting in the extinction of my species as well. This is probably the same reason that the giant pandas are going extinct as well.

Honeyeaters use koala fur to build their nests. Honeyeaters themselves pollinate flowers and eat insects.

I don't think they'll stop building nests just because there are no more koalas. Don't make me quote Ian Malcolm

Yes, they choose not to, however.

The eucalyptus makes them high so they're addicted to it

Please don't. A fictional character is a terrible source of science advice. Because no, nature does not always 'find a way'. Sometimes, and more often with us pushing things, they die out.

Something like koalas, I get. Don't really agree but I get it.

But I have literally no idea why people get all flustered when some species of bat that looks and acts exactly like the bajillion other species of bat goes extinct.

So do you believe that those birds will stop building nests entirely? Because adaptation is a thing

In this case, no. But sometimes there aren't substitutions for what is lost. Sometimes other species relying on a particular thing can't adapt in time. I mean, that's how some of these dominoes start in the first place. 'Life will find a way' is simplistic and wrong.
