Matschie’s tree kangaroo is found in only one place on the planet: Papua New Guinea’s Huon Peninsula. Living in these remote cloud forests, it has evolved to climb trees, eat leaves, and stay camouflaged in the canopy. With only around 2,500 individuals left, Matschie’s tree kangaroos are endangered. But there is hope: Woodland Park Zoo’s innovative Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program is protecting the marsupials’ native habitat with the help of local communities. Learn about this elusive species and take a look at PNG’s first conservation area, where protecting local wildlife involves a holistic approach.
👉🏽 Bringing together wildlife and local landowners, the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program does valuable work for community and conservation. You can find out more and support the project here: www.zoo.org/tkcp/donate
🎧 Danny Nanne, one of the locals, was even accepted to the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG). He completed his BSc in Environmental Sciences & Geography and is now working as TKCP's Community Conservation Coordinator. In the "Conservation Optimism" (University of Oxford) podcast, he shares his childhood experience with endangered Matschie’s tree kangaroos in PNG.

Hi friends, Kati from Terra Mater here. 👩🏻👋🏽
I hope you like this inspiring conservation story. For me, Dr. Lisa Dabek and all TKCP scientists and rangers are truly inspiring and I hope that they’ll continue their amazing work for many more years. You can support them here: www.zoo.org/tkcp/donate.
P.S.: Have you ever heard about the Tree kangaroo before? I mean, they’re such a unique species, right? 🦘💛
Want to see some happy faces? 🥳
Check out the "Twenty Years of Saving Tree Kangaroos" video from Woodland Park Zoo: ruclips.net/video/7pzIaLYMHlY/видео.html
I never heard about them before!🙈
I just realised that there is a tree kangaroo in an old puzzle I've had for many years. It's a painted half-realistic tropical rainforest motive with all kinds of tropical plants and animal species, but until today I legit thought the puzzle designer had made the tree kangaroo up from imagination😅
Obviously the artist knew more about wildlife than I did. Makes me appreciate that puzzle a lot more in hindsight.
I had read and heard about the Tree Kangaroo but hadn't given much importance .
But this video shows what a unique animal it is .
@@terramater Thank you for making this video i needee for a school project
Nice Videos, though the informations here are a bit false since there are also tree kangaroos in the West Papua (The Indonesian-side of the island. They are also endangered here as well.. I remember my Uncle bring me one as a gift from his hunt.. But my Dad ended up bringing the poor creature to a shelter since he knows that its an endangered species..
Tree Kangaroos are criminally underappreciated animals. Such cute lil guys.
True that! 🙌🏽
Yes! I didn’t even know they existed until a year ago and most people don’t know they exist.
@@wildsideofthings7733 i didnt even know they exist until now
@@gellagz9009 me too Lmao
They’re charming af aren’t they? Unreal
Hats off to the locals! They are the real gem besides the scientists for helping and understanding them so greatly.
That is true! Their work is very valuable 🦘🌳
I’ve never heard of a conservation effort that assists local communities in exchange for helping with conservation. Not only does it help the people of the region but it also changes their view on wildlife and nature. Great work and hopefully this will serve as a blueprint to unite people from all around the world to help save this planet.
What a beautiful animal, and such great things being done from the conservation effort to medical care and education. Yet another fantastic video.
True that!
We need more inspiringing conservation stories like this!💫
I really love tree kangaroos so it’s nice to hear that there population is protected.
They're the best!
How did you come across the species in the first place?
@@terramater I saw them at the zoo and I’ve loved them ever since, I also have a soft spot for marsupials. Also There cutest animal ever!
Meanwhile,white rhinoceros gone extinct.
@@enginestart3009 “going”. Google says there near threatened and population increasing.
Wow I didn't even know something like this is happening now, thanks to Terra Mater and Dr. Devek and the locals for helping these amazing animals and thankyou for telling us the news!! ❤
Hi Nethuni,
thanks a lot for your kind words and thanks for watching! 🤗
You're absolutely right, scientists & locals joined forces to protect these amazing species, and they're doing a great job!
Did you know that Tree kangaroos exist?
@@terramater I did know they exist but I didn't know such problem was going on thankyou Terra Mater for uploading this amazing video ❤😄
I didn't know about a kangaroos in trees. Beautiful animals, hope they preserve and we do our best to keep these cute guys around ♥️
This project is so significant, it helps the local people and protects this endangered cute animal at the same time. An example for how we can make Earth a better place together. Congratulation on your noble achievement ♥
I didn't know there were such animals as tree-kangaroos! Great video.
I'm shocked.
Great Project, thank you! To be successful, it necessary to include the locals and all working together.
Cute snake pfp
Thanks for watching, Dave! 🤗
Absolutely, without the locals, it wouldn't be possible at all!
It's very touching seeing all these people collaborating to save these animals. I almost cried when i saw the joy of both the scientist and the tracker when he says he catch a female !! that's heartwarming. thank you
It really is amazing to watch right?! Glad you liked it so much Charline 😊
I love tree kangaroos, they’re so cute!
We love them too, they're the best!
A very cute animal. Hats off to those conservationists.
This channel really deserve more!
Thanks so much for your support!
I never heard about tree kangaroo,
It is so beautiful... 🥰
They really are! And so unexpected right?! 🦘🌳
Me too..
This is a wonderful and inspirational story. It seems that in many areas where the earth is hurting, and where conservation efforts are needed, often you will also find people hurting. Sometimes it is from outside groups exploiting the land and people. Sometimes it is a people forgotten and abandoned by everyone who use the land in the only way they know how to survive. I love seeing a conservation effort that works so hard to improve the lives of those living in the area. The goal isn't to have more tree kangaroos. the goals is to have a world where tree kangaroos can live and survive, and so the people living around them have the resources (physical and knowledge) to live good lives that do not hurt our world. This is good. thank you.
Absolutely agreed!
Yes- indigenous people also have so much to teach in return
i didnt know such kangaroos exists
They are really cool and unique right?! 🦘🌳
Love this inspiring story and once again it's great to see such a unique species featured!
Thank you we appreciate your words very much! Yeah they are an incredible species indeed 🦘🌳
Amazing success at turning the local hunters into local conservator. The funding is spent more efficiently when direct to help the local survive so they don’t hunt than spending on sending people to the forest and capture these animals and manually grow them in a safer place.
GREAT VIDEO........ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONTENT💙🔥
Thank you so much Soham, glad to hear that! 🤗
Woah thanks i did not know there was an animal like this !!
We always try to capture also less known species.
Thanks for appreciating our effort! 🤗
@@terramater 😄🥰
"So the question is; 'does all the local population participates in the conservation of these tree kangaroos?; the answer is 'yes'': Actually I felt very good at this statement.
To those people who do effort to save these beautiful creatures from extinction, thank you. May you have strength, will, and intelligence to continue. Someday I hope, I'll become like you.
I'm Papua New Guinean, thank you to those conservationists who are helping our people to get education through programs as such. Most places in PNG are in the rural areas. Seeing these is something we as locals would appreciate for decades to come.
We're so happy to hear that, thanks for the feedback and for watching our videos. 🤗
Huge thanks to the locals for being so understanding ❤️
I love this channel
Oh wow, that's so nice of you! Thanks a lot!
It's nice to see that there are protecting both the tree kangaroos and the local people
That is true! They are doing amazing work there 😊
@@lenafromterramater3690
I think governments should start preserving animals that are lesser known like the tree kangaroo
It's so heartwarming and wonderful to see the native people involved in the conservation efforts. It's their land and their fauna, so their expertise is immeasurable. I hope they all can protect this species.
It is really wonderful :)
I like Tree Kangaroos. They’re like living cuddle plush toys.
Idk how much money people have to save beautiful animals like this but they deserve whatever we can give them.
Great content, as always. Thank you for your consistency
Thank you for your kind words 😊
I love your content @Terra Mater, but could you lower the volume of the background music the next time ? :)
Glad to hear that, thanks a lot!
Sure, thanks for letting us know!
I could never imagine this animal exist until I saw it with my own eyes a fury tree kangaroo wow
Content matters 👌👌👌
This channel is so underrated! Great contents everytime!
Everyday you learn something new, even though I love animals, I didn't know this beautiful creature exist.
That is one of our goals! To teach you all about these amazing animals that wander our planet 🦘🌳
Wow! A great story of matchie tree kangaroo gives information about it's less population and thankful to Dr. Devek for her contribution to conserve such a rare species.
Thanks so much for your kind words, you're the best! 🤗
Unless I do something that can help mother nature preserve its exquisite wildlife I can't be the best like you. You are the best!
Title of the video should be: “Placing GoPros on Tree Climbing Kangaroos 😂”
Sounds quite clickable. 😜
Thanks for this inspiring story. It's good to hear about tree kangaroos for the first time and also find out the decades conservation work are keeping their population stable. Thank you to all the conservationists and locals for preserving the cloud forest 🙂❤️
We are so happy that you took the time to tell us how you feel about our video! This means a lot to us! Thank you! 🦘🌳
They really are incredible little animals!
This is new to me. Didn't know there are tree-dwelling kangaroos. And they're cute! Thank you for educating us.
Oh I love this! Can y’all make more of these
Few things warm my heart as seeing locals being involved in conservation work
Great video as always!! Thanks for sharing and perserving these fellas👍
Oh wow… it’s the first time I heard about this animal.. they r really beautiful.. hope they grow to a bigger population..
They are amazing little creatures right?! Let´s hope so!
wow I cant wait to be a conservationist my self.
Awesome to hear that you also want to become a conservationist! 💫
Thanks! Needed this, man, just shows you that we can achieve it :) Luckily Papua does still retain a lot of jungle, compared to other islands in the Malay Archapeligo, happy to see these people protect their world.
Always welcome! 🤗
Should we share more inspiring conservation stories? What do you think?
@@terramater I would love that!!
@@terramater They make my day! So yes, although I also like the awareness you spread on the things that go wrong. The Rhino video was inspiring tho :)
@@draphotube4315 The name is Not malay archipelago, the Real name is Nusantara Archipelago.
Omg theyre fricken adorable.
One of the very good video/news i watch on yt.

I'M GOING TO DONATE TO YOU GUYS ONCE I WORK AS A VETERINARIAN IN A FEW YEARS :)

Great work guys...
Wow this channel is so educational
Thank you so much Kararof! That is one major goal of ours! 🌳
Never heard of a tree kangaroo before 😍😍
Those collars look like they feel horrible around their necks. We can’t make smaller one?
AWESOME VIDEO, Love From Indonesia Neighbouring From Papua New Guinea♥️
What a wonderful job Doing by YUS.
Wonderful! 💖
This was very informative
Wow im an Australian and damm these Roos looks way better then the roos we have here, looks way more friendlier.
Convergent Evolution is extremely fascinating and Marsupials are prime examples of it .
Thylacine was Marsupial Equivalent of Dog/ Wolf .
Thylacoleo was Marsupial Equivalent of Panther .
Gliders are Marsupial Equivalent of Flying squirrels .
Similiarly , watching the movements and the habitat of the Tree Kangaroo makes me wonder if it is the Marsupial Equivalent of Primates .
I would really want a video of a Primatologist reacting to THIS video 🙏❤️
Don't forget Thylacosmilus the saber toothed marsupial
Oh wow. I never heard of them. They are so adorable.
daaamn. their fur looks so good. no wonder they were hunted down to almost extinction.
Amazing that's good project
What a beautiful kangaroos, they fur, they can climb to, it's just absolutey beautiful, hope they always safe
My thanks to Doctor, staffs and the programe!

It is incredible to think that there is still so much to discover in our world right?! And so many cute animals 🦘🌳
Supreme intelligent that created beautiful nature are awesome
If it's the other way around, she will explain that Australian kangaroos are used be be tree-climbing mammals and adapted and evolved the land dwelling lifestyle.
Wow an arboreal kangaroo!
Never heard before! I swear!! Amazing to see !
We love to surprise you with new amazing facts about our beautiful planet every week! 🦘🌳
Rising sea level is another problem that need to be tackled.
You're absolutely right, thanks for sharing!

I really hope these creatures can reach our future generations.
Great work keep up the goods🌿❤️🩹
A Guide in daintree Australia told me that there were tree kangaroos there too. He said he didn't believe it but one day he saw them.
We also saw a cassowary that day.
Amazing!!
That's also what we thought so we shared the story with you 🦘🌳
A kangaroo that jumps tree.. That's insane dude!!!!!

thank you for this information. i love tree kangaroos! i have a tree kangaroo stuffed animal
Oh that is amazing, they are indeed very cute 🦘🌳
Very interesting,it is very important to save them
The team deserves a Nobel Prize
This should be the blue print for all conservative efforts on remote/rural regions.
Watch documentaries on Asiatic Lions to see how People and Lions can live together
I personally saw tree kangaroo caught by PNG (Papua New Guinea) natives and some up in the trees in the island Province of Manus sometime in 1997. Manus province is not within Huon Peninsula of PNG.
Locally, they call it Kapul or cuscus and enshrined at the reverse side if 10 toea coins.
Well I learned about a new animal that I didn’t even know existed!!
