There are approximately half a dozen species of kangaroo which are officially endangered out of the 65+ known species in the kangaroo family. Whilst the larger macropods such as the red kangaroo, grey kangaroo and wallaroo are not endangered, many of the lesser-known species are endangered, especially those in the wallaby family. Rock-wallabies seem to be most prone to endangerment.
Wallabies with a conservation status of "endangered" include the following:
- Brush tailed rock wallaby
- Yellow footed rock wallaby
- Proserpine rock-wallaby
- Bridled nailtail wallaby
- Banded hare-wallaby
In addition, there are several species of tree kangaroo in New Guinea which are listed as endangered.
