Why is the Australian wombat endangered?

Answer 1

The Northern hairy-nosed wombat is in a lot of trouble and is considered one of the rarest animals in the world. Apart from the intrusion of people into their environment, the drought of the early 1900's was thought to have finished off all Northern hairy-nosed wombats and they were declared extinct until a tiny population of 35 was found in the Epping Forest in 1937.

The Epping Forest National Park was proclaimed in 1971 to protect this last population of Northern hairy-nosed wombats, where they seem to be making a slow recovery.

After some dingo predation and the drought of the 1990s, the current population is estimated to be about 110.

Answer 2

The Southern hairy nosed wombat is listed as "Endangered" on Schedule 1 of Australia's Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. However, its IUCN status is "Least Concern". Human interference has caused the greatest threat to these animals. Native vegetation on which the Southern hairy nosed wombat feeds has diminishes as introduced vegetation such as onion weed has taken over. While the wombat will eat this, it provides no nutrition for the animal, and many Southern hairy nosed wombats are suffering from severe malnutrition.

The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is endangered and is considered to be one of the rarest animals in the world.

Answer 4

Of the three wombat species, only one is considered to be endangered. The Northern hairy-nosed wombat is in a lot of trouble and is considered one of the rarest animals in the world.

Answer 5

There are two species of hairy-nosed wombat: the Northern Hairy-nosed wombat and the Southern Hairy-nosed wombat. The Southern Hairy-nosed wombat is not endangered, but is listed as secure.

The northern hairy-nosed wombat became endangered through a combination of competition for food with introduced European cattle, sheep and rabbits, and the habitat alteration that resulted from these European farming practices.

Apart from the intrusion of people into their environment, this species of wombat is endangered due to drought, which has decimated the wombat's food supply, predation by dingoes, human interference and hunting, habitat loss, and competition from introduced cattle, sheep and rabbits for food and shelter. The greatest current threat is that there is only one known population in existence.

Answer 8

The many wolves, cougars and golden eagles have brought the population down to about nothing. No signs of poaching have been seen.

Answer 9

In the new world, the only marmot that is endangered is the Vancouver marmot. All other species, at least in the Americas, have healthy populations.
