No. The majority of kangaroo species are not at all endangered. Few species are threatened or vulnerable. In some parts of Australia, they are considered a pest and, unfortunately, farmers have successfully lobbied to have them culled. Kangaroo meat products can also be bought at butchers' shops and supermarkets. There are over 60 species of kangaroo, however, and many of the lesser-known species are endangered, especially those in the wallaby family. Rock-wallabies seem to be most prone to endangerment. But the larger creatures commonly recognised as kangaroos, such as Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos, remain common and prolific. The Gilbert's potoroo is a small member of the kangaroo family which is critically endangered. In addition, there are several species of wallaby (also in the kangaroo family) which are endangered. Rock wallabies are most vulnerable. Wallabies with a conservation status of "endangered" include the following (among others) the Brush tailed rock wallaby, Yellow footed rock wallaby, Proserpine rock-wallaby, Bridled nailtail wallaby and Banded hare-wallaby.
The black-footed rock wallaby is not currently endangered. It is listed as Lower Risk / Least Concern on the IUCN Red List 2007. However, various subspecies of the black-footed rock wallaby are listed as Vulnerable.

There are at least 16 species of rock-wallaby, and not all of them are classed as endangered. Some species are extinct, some are endangered, but some are not even threatened. Some of the rock wallabies which are endangered include the Brush tailed rock wallaby, Yellow footed rock wallaby and Proserpine rock-wallaby. The reason why some species have become extinct is largely due to the introduction of non-native predators such as foxes and feral cats. These animals pose the biggest threat to rock wallabies.
