Grizzled Tree Kangaroo (Dendrolagus inustus)
There are two distinct but similar subspecies: D. inustus
inustus in west New Guinea on Japen Island and the
Vogelkop and Fakfak peninsulas; and D. inustus finschi
(Finch's tree-kangaroo) along the north coast ranges of
New Guinea island.
Both are threatened by heavy hunting for food, and by
habitat loss and degradation through the conversion of
forest to small-scale agricultural use and large-scale oil
palm plantations.
The Tenkile Conservation Alliance based in Wewak (PNG)
works with local villages to monitor, conserve and research
tree kangaroos.
