TBH: All tree kangaroo species require a higher quality of animal care and husbandry in order to successfully maintain the species in captivity.

I believe around 2/3rds of that region got put up for sale back in the 80s and the rest put into a NP, However there is a Foundation online that takes donates to buy back large blocks of it many of the blocks have outstanding trees and wildlife on it!

I think the connection @Zorro was making was that through charitable organisations etc. buying back land, they can directly contribute to the conservation of native animals.
Using Australia Zoo as an example, they’ve purchased hundreds of thousands of acres of land which has been able to be designated as wildlife reserves. There’s more details on these reserves and the species they protect here: Conservation Properties - Australia Zoo - Conserving Wildlife & Wild Places
He is discussing the state of tree kangaroo conservation in Australia. Essentially what he is saying is that around 2/3 of tree kangaroo habitat has been bought by developers and is going to be subdivided and used for housing while the other 1/3 has become national park for the tree kanagroos and other wildlife. He also mentions that there is a charity that buys back the land from developers and converts it back to rainforest, essentially providing tree kangaroos and many other rainforest species pockets of habitat and wildlife corridors amongst the new housing developments in Far North Queensland
