The Chuditch is endangered for many reasons, some of which I do not know a lot about, but I can partly answer the question.

One reasone is the the introduction of red foxes, as the Chuditch makes a good meal for a fox; a good size and easily identifiable as good to eat. Feral cats also played a small part in the endangering of the species for the same reasons.

Another more tragic reason is the urbanisation of the Chuditch's habitat. When colonies were first established in WA, Chuditchs would sometimes go and take chickens and other small livestock, and so were seen as a menace to farmers. Ever since then, new suburbs and buildings have gradually taken the place of the dry sclerophyll woodland the Chuditchs inhabit, and so there are far fewer surviving.
