They are historically threatened by land clearing but this has been significantly reduced due to the declaration of their habitat as a world heritage area. They are able to persist in modified and cleared areas where there are corridors and linkages they can use. This tree kangaroo was photographed in one such area that is surrounded by cleared farmland.

Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) Also known as: Boongary

Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo is a heavy-bodied tree-kangaroo found in rain forests of the Atherton Tableland Region of Queensland. It is named after the Norwegian explorer Carl Sofus Lumholtz, who discovered the first specimen in 1883 and it’s the smallest of all tree-kangaroos, with males weighing an average of 7.2 kg (16 lbs) and females 5.9 kg (13 lbs). Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo are generally solitary animals, with the exception of male-female mating and the long, intimate mother-joey relationship. Each kangaroo maintains a "home range" and will be hostile towards a member of the same gender that enters it (the one exception seems to be non-hostile encounters between adult males and their male offspring).
