Very high.
The introduction of non-native species to Australia such as foxes, and feral cats and dogs, poses a considerable threat to the numbat. It is a small, quite defenceless creature, only able to protect itself by hiding in hollow logs.
Another high risk factor is habitat loss. Their habitat has been cleared for industry, agriculture and expanding human habitation.
Bushfires and changed fire regimes have also contributed to the numbats' endangerment. Bushfires destroy the numbats' habitat, including the logs in which it shelters. Numbats are not fast-moving creatures, and they cannot escape bushfires, which can move very quickly.
