The quokka is protected under several conservation acts:
The Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WA)
The Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth)
The National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity 1996 (Commonwealth)
Australia also signed an international biodiversity agreement, known as the Montreal Process, in 1995 to protect quokkas.
While activities such as changed fire regimes, logging and the prevalence of feral cats and foxes on the mainland continue to threaten colonies of quokkas in southwest Western Australia, Rottnest Island remains predator-free. Strict regulations ensure that anything which could threaten the quokka is kept off the island.
