Quokkas face threats from habitat loss due to development and agriculture, as well as predation by introduced species like foxes and cats. Conservation efforts focus on habitat restoration and managing introduced predators on islands where quokkas are found. Responsible tourism helps by funding conservation projects and raising awareness, while visitors are encouraged to observe quokkas from a distance to avoid stressing them.
The quokka is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. It is the only member of the genus Setonix. Like other marsupials in the macropod family, the quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal.
