Yes. However, not all species of tree kangaroos are endangered.

For those that are, the main danger is habitat loss as a result of human activity. Destruction of rainforests means loss of habitat, and loss of food source. Unlike some other highly adaptable marsupials, tree kangaroos need a very specific habitat.

Also, in parts of northern Australia, quite a few tree kangaroo deaths are caused by cars. It is the people driving carelessly that cause the problem.

Introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs are also a major problem. These species were introduced by people.

Where do the endangered Tree Kangaroos give birth?

Tree kangaroos are just that - tree kangaroos. They give birth in the safety of the tree branches. Birth is not an ordeal for marsupials, as the young joeys are so tiny. All that is required is time and patience for the joey to make its way to the mother's pouch. The female tree kangaroo is more at risk from predators on the ground, so she will give birth in the trees.
