The Tenkile Conservation Alliance (TCA) aims to save the critically endangered Tenkile, or Scott's Tree Kangaroo (Dendrolagus scottae) and Weimang (Dendrolagus pulcherrimus) from becoming extinct.
The Tenkile is one of the most endangered mammal species in the world with as few as one hundred individuals remaining. So it is really now or never to save the Tenkile.
TCA works in the Torricelli Mountains of Papua New Guinea researching the animal, providing education to the schools and helping the community.
The Tenkile Conservation Alliance is a non-government organisation based in Papua New Guinea.
Please explore this web site to find out more about TCA.

Tenkile news 19.10.07!!!
The Tenkile Conservation Alliance has some amazing news. Whilst conducting Distance Sampling at Bibane, villagers from Tolgete and Sarbute came across three Tenkile in the same tree. The team were able to successfully capture one of these animals. The other two were too fast for the team. The captured Tenkile is a female weighing 7.7kg and has been named "Suna" by the landowners. We have transported her to Lumi where she will be housed for a month. We will count scats so as to ascertain her defacation rate and collect other data. We aim to release Suna back at Bibane on the 12th November.
