🐨 Kangaroos of Papua: Diversity and Conservation

The script introduces the lesser-known kangaroos of Papua, Indonesia, which are distinct from their Australian counterparts. The Papuan kangaroos belong to the family Macropodidae and are divided into two main types: terrestrial and arboreal. The terrestrial kangaroos, like Thylogale brunei, are the smallest in the world, weighing only 3-6 kg and are found in lowland forests of Papua. The arboreal kangaroos, such as Dendrolagus goodfellowi, live in trees and feed on leaves and forest seeds. The script also mentions the decline in the population of arboreal kangaroos by 80% over the last 30 years due to habitat loss and predation. Local communities often keep them as pets, and the script highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect these unique marsupials, which are now included in Indonesia's protected species list.
