Today, commercial harvesting of kangaroos is strictly controlled to protect these native animals. Only species present in sufficiently large numbers can be harvested, and the kangaroo industry is closely monitored. The kangaroo harvest is ecologically sustainable, and some proceeds from the industry go towards conserving rare and threatened macropod species.
