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 feral domestic dogs. Being hunted by local community members also contributes markedly to the declines in tree-kangaroo populations. [19]
