There are no accurate figures for the population of the Leadbeater's possum, as they are elusive creatures which have a habit of changing their nesting spots. Leadbeater's possums inhabit areas which are bushfire-prone, and the population suffered significantly in the 2009 Victorian bushfires. Following these bushfires, it is estimated that there are less than 1000 adult specimens remaining.
There are believed to be about 66 million possums (specifically, Common Brushtail Possums) in New Zealand. They were originally introduced from neighbouring Australia for their fur, but have now become a severe environmental pest.
Brushtail possums are found in Australia. They have also been introduced to New Zealand.

Possums (at least the Australian ones introduced to New Zealand, now a major pest) avoid the wet if possible. They look for hollows in trees and dens under logs and secondary growth and stay there when wet. One of the few parts of the country they have not colonised is Fiordland, as it has an extremely high rainfall.
