In Australia there is a concerted effort by wildlife organisations to build corridors between remnant patches of rain forest in the hope that this will stabilize the population. In several places, under-road tunnels have been built to allow safe passage of tree kangaroos from one area to another, and monitoring suggests this strategy has seen some success, although more so among native fauna other than the tree kangaroos. Road signs to warn traffic of tree kangaroos have been placed in several locations, due to quite high mortality rates from the animals being hit by cars.
In far north Queensland in the region of the Atherton Tableland (the favoured habitat of Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo), there are several volunteer groups acting to implement the Wildlife Habitat Management Plans. Incorporated within these plans are strategies to reinstate 80 hectares of rainforest vegetation, and to provide surveys and monitoring of the tree kangaroos.
In New Guinea, education is needed to teach the locals the value of saving these species and not eating them. Given that most of the indigenous population of New Guinea (both the Indonesian half and the Papua New Guineans) still live in traditional tribal groups, with their associated culture and practices, this is virtually impossible to achieve. To this end, nonetheless, in 1999 the Conservation Education Program was begun to raise awareness - at least among some members of the upcoming generation.

There is a great deal of difference between the giant short-faced kangaroo and the kangaroo we now know today. Most obviously, the giant-faced kangaroo was a single species that became extinct thousands of years ago. Modern kangaroos are divided into between 60 and 70 species. Recent research from Adelaide University has determined that there is no genetic link between these marsupials and the modern kangaroo. Their DNA is very different.
