Why are the banded hare wallabies endangered?

There are several reasons why the rufous hare wallaby is endangered.

Habitat loss due to livestock grazing is a significant cause of the endangerment of this small wallaby. The fact that it has only ever been found in a limited geographical area has not helped its survival. Its habitat has also been degraded due to the introduction of non-native invasive plants, which have pushed out native vegetation, and the fact that introduced species sucha s rabbits also compete for food. As with many native species, it has also been affected by changed fire regimes since the indigenous population has been dispersed.
