The quokka is not yet an "officially endangered" animal.

The conservation status of the quokka is as follows:

  • National: Listed as Vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
  • Western Australia: Listed as Rare or likely to become extinct under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950.

    The quokka is at risk of being endangered because it is vulnerable to predation by feral cats, dogs and foxes. The quokka population on Rottnest Island, off Western Australia's coast, is stable, as is the small population within an enclosed reserve on the mainland. This is because these two regions are predator-free.

    The quokka lives in a limited number of other areas of Western Australia. It can also be found in the coastal plain around the Swan River, near Perth and Gingin. It is also found on Bald Island, and at Harvey and Collie in the Stirling Ranges.
