Kangaroo leather

Kangaroo leather is a strong, lightweight leather derived from the hide of the kangaroo.

Kangaroos are harvested.^[1]^[2] Both the meat and the hides are sold. Although hunting most species of macropod is prohibited, a small number of the large-sized species with high populations can be hunted by commercial hunters.^[3] This policy has been criticised by some wildlife activists.^[4]
