The plight of the Matschie's tree kangaroo

The Machis tree kangaroo, a rare and threatened species, is native to the mountainous rainforests of northeastern Papua New Guinea. Known for its curved claws, muscular limbs, and padded paws, it is adept at living in trees and can fall from great heights without injury. This solitary marsupial faces threats from habitat destruction due to oil drilling and logging, as well as hunting for its fur. Conservation efforts, including captive breeding and education, are underway, but the future of the species remains uncertain.
