A Koala's Wasteland

Almost all the trees have disappeared and I used to have a home
I used to have lots of family before they decided to go
But people didn't give a fuss
Or care about us
I guess people didn't care
If we were even there
We were even mistaken, they thought we were bears
I am grey and fluffy and have a big nose
People call me cute, well that’s all I know
With less than 60 thousand of us left
And 4000 of us gone each year
Soon we won't be here
One day we will all disappear
You won’t even know we were here.
