Description
Population numbers were drastically reduced following European settlement by a combination of factors such as habitat alteration by livestock, hunting for the fur trade and sport and predation by introduced predators. Current threats are competition for food and shelter from introduced herbivores such as goats, predation by introduced predators such as Foxes and Cats, habitat fragmentation, genetic impediments of small colony size and catastrophic events such as wildfire and drought. The species now has a fragmented distribution of isolated colonies as many previous colonies in between have become extinct, preventing dispersal by young animals. This species is now generally restricted to protected areas that are actively managed to abate threats. - See more at: http://www.australianwildlife.org/wildlife/yellow-footed-rock-wallaby.aspx#sthash.cyGr8C4f.dpuf
