The Northern hairy-nosed wombat is in a lot of trouble and is considered one of the rarest animals in the world. Apart from the intrusion of people into their environment, the drought of the early 1900's was thought to have finished off all Northern hairy-nosed wombats and they were declared extinct until a tiny population of 35 was found in the Epping Forest in 1937. The Epping Forest National Park was proclaimed in 1971 to protect this last population of Northern hairy-nosed wombats, where they seem to be making a slow recovery. After some dingo predation and the drought of the 1990's, the current population is estimated to be about 110.

They merely reflect the number of animals counted by various groups and organisations, not necessarily the total number of animals living in the habitat.In 2009, either 5 or 12 animals (depending on who you choose to believe) were relocated to establish a second population. This was done to avoid inbreeding and the safety factor of not having all of the animals in the same immediate area.As at August 2012, these appear to be the most recent statistics available. Numbers expected to be released later in 2014 suggest there should be more than 200 in Epping Forest National Park, with another 9 in the Richard Underwood Nature refuge near St George.
