Who sets quotas for harvesting of kangaroos and wallabies?
Quotas are set on the basis of population size and trends, and long-term climate predictions. Conservation of the species remains the foremost consideration. This approach ensures that the harvesting of kangaroos and wallabies is managed in an ecologically sustainable way. The harvesting of kangaroos and wallabies is permitted on a quota basis that is reviewed annually and independent of market demand. There is no farming of kangaroos or wallabies in Australia.
