Matschie’s tree kangaroo is found in only one place on the planet: Papua New Guinea’s Huon Peninsula. Living in these remote cloud forests, it has evolved to climb trees, eat leaves, and stay camouflaged in the canopy. With only around 2,500 individuals left, Matschie’s tree kangaroos are endangered. But there is hope: Woodland Park Zoo’s innovative Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program is protecting the marsupials’ native habitat with the help of local communities. Learn about this elusive species and take a look at PNG’s first conservation area, where protecting local wildlife involves a holistic approach.
👉🏽 Bringing together wildlife and local landowners, the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program does valuable work for community and conservation. You can find out more and support the project here: www.zoo.org/tkcp/donate
🎧 Danny Nanne, one of the locals, was even accepted to the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG). He completed his BSc in Environmental Sciences & Geography and is now working as TKCP's Community Conservation Coordinator. In the "Conservation Optimism" (University of Oxford) podcast, he shares his childhood experience with endangered Matschie’s tree kangaroos in PNG. You can listen to Danny here: podfollow.com/1514337431
💻 Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program website: www.zoo.org/tkcp/program
🎧 Mongabay Podcast: "Tree kangaroos may be key to New Guinea forest conservation" news.mongabay.com/2022/03/pod...
🤓 Fun fact: Tree Kangaroos can safely jump further than 8m from one tree to another.

Hi friends, Kati from Terra Mater here. 👩🏻👋🏽 I hope you like this inspiring conservation story. For me, Dr. Lisa Dabek and all TKCP scientists and rangers are truly inspiring and I hope that they’ll continue their amazing work for many more years. You can support them here: www.zoo.org/tkcp/donate. P.S.: Have you ever heard about the Tree kangaroo before? I mean, they’re such a unique species, right? 🦘💛

I never heard about them before!🙈 I just realised that there is a tree kangaroo in an old puzzle I've had for many years. It's a painted half-realistic tropical rainforest motive with all kinds of tropical plants and animal species, but until today I legit thought the puzzle designer had made the tree kangaroo up from imagination😅 Obviously the artist knew more about wildlife than I did. Makes me appreciate that puzzle a lot more in hindsight.

Nice Videos, though the informations here are a bit false since there are also tree kangaroos in the West Papua (The Indonesian-side of the island. They are also endangered here as well.. I remember my Uncle bring me one as a gift from his hunt.. But my Dad ended up bringing the poor creature to a shelter since he knows that its an endangered species..

This is a wonderful and inspirational story. It seems that in many areas where the earth is hurting, and where conservation efforts are needed, often you will also find people hurting. Sometimes it is from outside groups exploiting the land and people. Sometimes it is a people forgotten and abandoned by everyone who use the land in the only way they know how to survive. I love seeing a conservation effort that works so hard to improve the lives of those living in the area. The goal isn't to have more tree kangaroos. the goals is to have a world where tree kangaroos can live and survive, and so the people living around them have the resources (physical and knowledge) to live good lives that do not hurt our world. This is good. thank you.
