Wallaby Population Status
The summary was compiled from a list of wallaby species, though there is some argument as to whether the Pademelons should be included.Where available, the status of the species was sourced from the Australian Government Department of Environment website which lists endangered and extinct species populations at a state level. For all other classifications the IUCN or Wikipedia was consulted for the population status and distribution. Grey shading indicates that the species is not found in that location. All other colouring indicates the status of the population that exists in the location according to the population's vulnerability.
