"Unfortunately... tree kangaroos are critically endangered in the wild. An arboreal species of kangaroo. Tree kangaroos live in tropical North Queensland in the canopy of the rainforest, and in Papua New Guinea, but due to habitat loss, their numbers are critically low.
Melb Zoo is taking place in a special breeding program, but this species is very difficult to sucessfully breed in captivity - only 33 of them live in Zoos world-wide."
