Tree kangaroos are at most risk from feral animals and from being hit by cars.
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.
People all over the world want to make people stop shooting kangaroos and eating kangaroos. That's why they are making websites like:www.savethekangaroos.com), and are sometimes puting reasons on their website to tell people what they can do to save kangaroos.

they are currently gathering them all into a 1960's style "Den" and pumping the water full of ecstasy in order to cause a rat orgy and increase the population.

What do grey kangaroos look like?
Giant kangaroos, which died out thousands of years ago, were about twice the size of today's Red kangaroo, and were believed to have similar coloured fur. Instead of simple forepaws, they had strong forelimbs with two extra-long "fingers" with large claws, and each of their hind feet had a single large toe similar to a horse's hoof. It had a short face, rather than the long nose of today's kangaroos.

What is the difference between a tree kangaroo and a regular kangaroo?
There is no such thing as a "regular" kangaroo, given that there are over 60 species of kangaroo. However, differences between tree kangaroos and the animal most commonly thought of as kangaroos (Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos) are:Tree kangaroos are indeed arboreal-dwelling, spending much of their time feeding and resting in trees. Red and grey kangaroos are strictly ground-dwelling, and cannot climb at all.Tree kangaroos are smaller and stockier, and certainly more agile. They have stronger front legs to assist with climbing, and longer tails to help with balance.Tree kangaroos eat leaves and fruit. Red and Grey kangaroos do not readily eat fruit in their native habitat.
