2 Introduction:
The tree kangaroo is an Australian animal and it is endangered. We should save
these little creatures and stop destroying their habitat. Hunters, canines and
vehicles are threatening these animals and if it is you, you need to
These animals are about to be extinct because of
hunters, canines and cars.
3 Tree kangaroo
characteristics:
The lumholtz tree kangaroo is a
kangaroo that is a tree dweller
and that is how it got its name.
The Lumholtz tree kangaroo
eats different kinds of leaves
which is only in Australia one
of which is eucalyptus leaves.
Koalas eat the same thing as
well. They also eat moss and
orchids. The tree kangaroos
area is very hot and estimated
96 degrees f˚.
The tree kangaroos fur is as
soft as a pillow and its claws
are sharp. The claws are used
for climbing on top of the tree
because it is a tree dweller. The
Lumholtz tree kangaroo is the
only kangaroo that can walk
backwards. The tree kangaroos
are endangered and to help, we need to
get assistance. The tree kangaroos are
very hard to handle and adult
supervision is just the right thing.

The tree kangaroos are now 75% endangered. The tree kangaroos are being
killed for many reasons. The Lumholtz tree kangaroo is in danger because it is
being killed by canines, hunters, and vehicles in high speed. The tree kangaroos
are killed by the canines for their meals. The hunters kill them for their fur to
be sold to make jackets. Also they are being killed for money by the bounty
hunters. Sometimes, they are getting killed by the vehicles in high speed and
also by the gas emissions of the vehicles which is polluting the air around us
and is making it hard to breathe for these animals.
Interesting fact:
During the year of 2000, 300 tree kangaroos were dead and the vets did not
have enough medical supplies. The tree kangaroos were now often hard to
handle so now we are still getting the the right medications for the tree
kangaroo. Today, we have the right medications because Lisa Dabek is working
towards helping the tree kangaroos not getting extinct.
6 The tree kangaroos is getting more and more endangered. Somehow, still the
hunters are destroying their habitat and will continue to do that. We need
someone that will help our precious animals.
7 8 Tree kangaroo helpers:
There are a lot of people who are ready to help the endangered animals
especially the tree kangaroo. One of the most famous helpers is Lisa Dabek who
is a conservationist and she is already talking to the hunters to stop this
violence on these harmless tree kangaroos. Lisa Dabek is one of the most
famous people in the world because she cares about every living thing on the
planet.
There are other organizations and people who are ready to make changes in the
world itself. An organization called UNICEF is also gathering fund and
assistance so that the tree kangaroo species are not harmed anymore. Unicef is
an organization that helps people and animals to a better life. Even WWF is
helping to bring awareness about deforestation and loss of habitat of the tree
kangaroos. We should also try to help and be like these group of people who are making
sure the earth is a better place for the endangered animals. We can admire the
fact that we will not have any endangered animals especially the Tree kangaroo.
Let's present our opinions on the conservation of animals .
9 The idea of how we can help:
There are many ways to help the tree kangaroo and much more. We should not
allow the hunters to kill and sell the tree kangaroos for fur. We should also not
allow people to use the car because it is spreading the greenhouse gas: Methane
and making it a lot harder for the endangered animals especially the tree
kangaroo to breathe. We should have people that can help the tree kangaroo
and much more.
The way we can do this is that we can talk to the hunters to make sure they do
not shoot bullets anymore on anything. We should use bikes more and cars less
because bikes do not run on the greenhouse gas, they run on gears which is
safe for the environment. We can tame our dogs not to kill anything especially
the tree kangaroo.
There are many ways for people to help animals and the process is very simple.
First, you have to contact the website you want to express your opinion on
then you talk to the instructor. Make sure you have parent or guardian know
before talking to the instructor. Then, you should approach to other people on
what your claim or opinion is about. Not so hard, right.
10 Conclusion:
We hope that the tree kangaroos will not be extinct and as a living organism, it
has its own right to live in on the earth. Also, as a human race, we should
protect and make a safe environment for the animals to live and survive in the
world. The tree kangaroo also has the same right as everything on earth. So
don not hurt these animals in a way where the rights are broken.
