Amid the golden-brown lichens of a New Guinea cloud forest canopy, something moves. Its tawny fur blends into the surroundings, making it difficult to spot at first. Then a pale, fluffy face appears between the branches. And then a second face, smaller, lighter and fluffier still, pops out of the pouch on its stomach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the animal might be mistaken for a possum, and the two do share the same lineage. But the fluffy creature belongs to a family more usually associated with the Australian desert, red sand, big jumps and powerful kicks. It\u2019s a kind of kangaroo.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the ancestors of all kangaroos lived in trees. When Australia started to dry out around 15 million years ago and forest cover shrank, these animals adapted to life on arid ground \u2014 hopping included. Millions of years later, the region\u2019s forests expanded again, and some kangaroos returned to the trees: biologists believe they occupied the niche that monkeys now fill in other tropical forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, there are 14 described species<\/a> of tree kangaroo \u2014 mostly on the island of New Guinea, with two species in northeastern Australia. These elusive, arboreal marsupials spend most of their lives in rainforest canopies and inhabit some of the most inaccessible and under-researched forests on Earth. As a result, there\u2019s a lot we don\u2019t know about them, including the size of their populations and how endangered they might be. One species, the Wondiwoi (Dendrolagus mayri<\/em>), is an extreme example: the animal has been confirmed just twice, with a 90-year gap in between.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2023, these cryptic animals have been celebrated through a dedicated International Day<\/a>\u2014  21 May. It remains to be seen if this increased visibility will help to preserve their populations and the forests they call home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banking on\u00a0biodiversity<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The animals\u2019 cuteness could definitely weigh in their favour. Zoologist Lisa Dabek, who first encountered tree kangaroos in Seattle\u2019s Woodland Park Zoo over 35 years ago, remembers being captivated by them. \u201cOnce you learn about them, there’s no going back,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wasn\u2019t exaggerating. Researching and protecting the species has become her life\u2019s work. After writing her doctoral dissertation on tree kangaroos\u2019 reproductive biology and behaviour, she travelled to the Huon Peninsula in northeastern Papua New Guinea (PNG)<\/a> to research the conservation status of a species endemic to the area, the Matschie\u2019s tree kangaroo (Dendrolagus matschiei<\/em>), a difficult-to-spot species known locally as the \u201cghost of the forest\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dabek interviewed locals who hunted the animals for food and fur, and they reported that the populations seemed to be declining, with the animals found much less frequently and further from villages than in the past. \u201cPretty immediately [the research] became about: how can the local communities create a sustainable resource?\u201d she said. Together, they began to explore the idea of setting some land aside as a \u2018wildlife bank\u2019 where the animals could breed safely, and then the young could disperse to other areas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For elders in the community, the idea resonated. \u201cThey said to me, ‘Lisa, this is not a new concept,\u2019\u201d she said. Before missionaries came to the area, there were sacred \u2018tambu\u2019<\/em> places where people weren\u2019t allowed to go. \u201cBut when they were missionized, they were told to give up those practices,\u201d said Dabek. \u201cThat’s when I think the over-hunting really started.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten years and many discussions later, the peninsula\u2019s communities created PNG\u2019s first conservation area \u2014 called YUS after the Yopno, Uruwa and Som rivers that flow through it. They designated some areas as no-hunting zones,<\/s> and ruled out large-scale extractive activities like industrial logging and mining. Meanwhile, the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program (TKCP)<\/a>, which supports YUS, attracts funding that provides local communities with social benefits including health services and livelihood options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople see that it\u2019s because of the tree kangaroos that there are people who are interested in helping them,\u201d said Modi Pontio, TKCP\u2019s executive director. \u201cSo they\u2019re much less motivated to hunt them than in the past.\u201d That\u2019s making an impact on the population, with hunters seeing tree kangaroos closer to villages,<\/s> and ecological monitoring also suggesting rebounding numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When hunger shapes conservation<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several hundred kilometres to the southwest, the communities of the Managalas Conservation Area (MCA)<\/a> are yet to decide how to tend to their own tree kangaroo populations. The area is home to at least two species \u2014 the Doria\u2019s tree kangaroo (Dendrolagus dorianus<\/em>), which is classified as Vulnerable on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, and the Goodfellow\u2019s tree kangaroo (Dendrolagus goodfellowi<\/em>), classified as Endangered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s tricky to spot them in the wild, especially as mammal populations around most of MCA\u2019s villages are relatively small due to hunting pressure. However, the Doria\u2019s has been captured on MCA\u2019s new camera traps<\/a>. \u201cWe often see them in villages and markets after they have been hunted,\u201d says Will Unsworth, PNG program manager<\/a> for Landscape Alliance<\/a>, <\/em>which is supporting MCA with funding from the European Union. Meanwhile, he says, \u201cwe have heard stories, but not yet gathered evidence that the Goodfellow\u2019s tree kangaroo was more widespread and is now quite limited.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the Managalas Plateau, a number of tambu<\/em> places, where no one hunts or enters for any other purpose, remain. But hunting pressure elsewhere is strong, given the growing \u2014 and largely protein-deficient \u2014 population. That\u2019s why conservation efforts now involve providing new protein sources and livelihoods through chicken, pig and fish farms. As Pontio pointed out: \u201cIf they\u2019re going to stop eating tree kangaroos because they see the value in maintaining them, then we also need to try to provide alternatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
