MSNBC reports that Aussies are planning some Koala population control.

Female koalas are being given contraception in the Australian state of Victoria because the population is eating itself out of house and home. [...]

"We have found that relocation and surgical sterilization hasn't worked that well, so now we're shifting to a more humane, large scale option which is basically putting them on the pill."

We practice population control with animals here in the United States, too. It's called hunting.

Rather than actually allow people to hunt the bears with firearms, and generate some revenue while their at it, Australia is going to spend taxpayer money to put Koala's on "the pill". Ironically, the bears are still considered a protected species, which tells me that their version of the Endangered Species Act is just as corrupt and bogus as ours.
