Al Mucci:

When you've got five koalas here, ten koalas there, a freeway, an industrial area, sports fields, golf course, housing. How do these koalas breed with these? They can't fly. They need trees, they need help, they need support, so we grab females from this population, males from this population, bring them into our captive breeding facility, see how serious they are with disease, clean them up and put them back into the wild with a joey in its pouch from an unrelated male.
