==Threats== The two most significant threats to tree-kangaroos are habitat loss and hunting. Tree-kangaroo habitats are being destroyed or replaced by logging and timber production, along with coffee, rice and wheat production. This habitat loss can make tree-kangaroos more exposed to predators, such as [[Free-ranging dog|feral domestic dog]]s. Being hunted by local community members also contributes markedly to the declines in tree-kangaroo populations.<ref name="panda1"/> Research conducted on Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo, a species that dwells in the rain forests of northeastern Australia, determined the frequency of causes of death. This showed that of 27 deceased tree-kangaroos, 11 had been killed by vehicles, six by dogs, four by parasites and the remaining six died from other causes.<ref>{{cite web|author=Chambers, J. |url=http://rainforest-australia.com/lumholtz_tree_kangaroo.html|title=Lumholtz Tree-kangaroo|publisher=Rainforest-australia.com |access-date=September 29, 2022}}</ref>
