Kangaroo Fur Background

Of the 48 species of Kangaroo in Australia, only 5 are commercially harvested. The population fluctuates between 15-35 million depending on seasonal conditions.

The Kangaroo does not have a natural predator.

Kangaroos are now more common than ever. This growth in population has arisen due to the increased food and water supply from the activities of the pastoral industry.

The Kangaroo industry generates in excess of A$200 million in income and employs over 4000 people. The bulk of this employment is in remote rural communities, many of which would not exist without the industry.

The industry plays a key role in controlling the grazing pressure in the range lands. The Kangaroo population would be 30-40% higher if the industry did not exist.

This would threaten the sustainability of these regions and potentially result in extensive desertification.

All hides used in Hop products are sourced under the strict guidelines of the Government and Environment Australia.
