The Matschie’s tree kangaroo is one of 10 species of tree kangaroos , all of which are endangered or threatened. A tree kangaroo is typically about the size of a raccoon (浣熊) and weighs around 19 pounds. They live in the high canopy (树冠) of the rainforest , about 100 to 150 feet in the air . The Matschie’s tree kangaroo is orange and brown with a face that looks like a teddy bear. They can leap 60 feet to the ground from trees without getting hurt .
In 1996 , Dr Lisa Dabek helped found the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program (TKCP). Now, 16 years later , though still endangered , the population of the Matschie’s tree kangaroo is stabilizing . Much of the success is due to the work of Dabek , Senior Coservation Scientist at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seatle , Washington , and Director of the TKCP.
According to Dabek , the TKCP needed to cooperate with the local clans (部落) , some of whom kill them for food and ceremonial clothing . Dabek said, “We and the clans made a compromise . The clans would dedicate a part of their land as a ‘ no hunting area’. But they could continue to hunt on their other land . Together they set aside 180,000 acres of land . They called this a ‘Wildlife Bank’.
Animal behavior has always been interesting to Dr Dabek . She said , “ When I was 8 years old , a friend and I wrote down what we wanted to be when we grew up and sealed it inside an envelope to open when we were teenagers . When I opened it I was reminded that I wanted to be an animal trainer . And that is kind of what I am today.”
