Not if you don't keep killing them.
(Koalas are not bears. That's a pretty common mistake.) In the start of colonization in Australia, people did hunt koalas for their fur as it is a really soft hide. They were easy to kill as they were asleep as well. Later on though, the hunting of koalas became illegal.
The problems facing them today is the land clearing of their natural habitat. People are cutting down the eucalyptus trees which they eat (the leaves), and they don't have as much food.
At the moment, koala numbers are going slowly back up. If no more land clearing happens, koalas will once again, be abundant.
