There are several reasons why the rufous hare wallaby is endangered.
Habitat loss due to livestock grazing is a significant cause of the endangerment of this small wallaby. The fact that it has only ever been found in a limited geographical area has not helped its survival. Its habitat has also been degraded due to the introduction of non-native invasive plants, which have pushed out native vegetation, and the fact that introduced species sucha s rabbits also compete for food. As with many native species, it has also been affected by changed fire regimes since the indigenous population has been dispersed.

∙ 11y agoBanded hare wallabies are endangered for two main reasons.
- When European settlers arrived, they brought cats with them, which hunted the banded hare wallaby, which is one of the smaller species of wallabies.
- Their food sources (native grasses) were all but decimated by introduced stock animals such as sheep and cattle, and by farmers clearing the grasslands and bushland for agriculture.
