A Wild Future for Tree Kangaroos
Why does the Tree Kangaroo need our help?
Tree Kangaroos are threatened by loss of their rainforest habitat, with the added pressure of predation from dogs and in some locations, road traffic.
What are we doing to give these animals Wild Futures?
Conservation Volunteers will support the Tree Kangaroo and Mammal Group Inc to implement Wildlife Habitat Management Plans in the Atherton Tablelands. The primary activities are reinstating rainforest habitat and participating in tree kangaroo surveys.
Our 5 year goal is to:
- Reinstate 80ha of rainforest vegetation in the Atherton tablelands
- Provide 500 days of volunteer support to the Tree Kangaroo & Mammal Group Inc’s tree kangaroo survey and monitoring program

Brush-tailed Rock Wallabies
Only a handful of these once common wallabies remain in Victoria’s eastern ranges, but an innovative cross-fostering program is slowly building up their numbers in captivity, ready for an exciting reintroduction to the wild.

Red-tailed Black Cockatoos
Nesting trees and food are becoming harder and harder to find in Victoria and South Australia. Particular trees are needed in large numbers to bring this spectacular icon back from the brink.

Sea Turtles
These ancient sea creatures are among the most endangered animals on the planet. Their nesting beaches in northern Australia need urgent protection from predators and marine debris.

Superb Parrots
Once common throughout central New South Wales, one of Australia's most striking birds is fast losing its breeding and feeding areas. Nesting trees and food resources are being planted to give the Superb Parrot a fighting chance in its most critical habitats.

Tree Kangaroos
In their Queensland tablelands homes, Tree Kangaroos are easy prey for wild dogs and road traffic as they move across cleared areas.
