The Lumholtz's tree kangaroo is not extinct. It is not even listed as endangered. The Lumholtz's tree kangaroo's conservation status is officially "Least Concern", but it is listed as a rare species in Queensland, to which it is endemic (i.e. not found anywhere else).
However, like any Australian native mammal, the Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroo is still at risk of some threats - primarily habitat loss. Destruction of rainforests means loss of habitat, and loss of food source. Unlike some other highly adaptable marsupials, tree kangaroos need a very specific habitat. Also, in parts of northern Australia, quite a few tree kangaroo deaths are caused by cars. Introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs are also a major problem.
