Is a leadbeater's possum endangered?
Yes. Leadbeater's Possum was placed on the IUCN Red list of endangered species in 2004. It is classified as threatenedunder the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 of Australia. After the devastating Black Friday bushfires of 1939, it was actually believed to be extinct, and was only rediscovered in 1961.Like many Australian animals, Leadbeater's Possum is endangered because of habitat loss. Leadbeater's possum is found in Victoria, and is the faunal emblem of that state. The possums nest in the hollows of old trees, preferably those in excess of 150-200 years in age, but drought and the increased number of bushfires in recent years in Victoria has reduced the numbers of such available trees. Further, many of the remaining trees that are suitable are in Victoria's prime timber production area. There are efforts being made to reestablish native forests with enough old trees to support the possum's habitat needs.
