Kangaroo leather

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

Kangaroos are harvested. 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. This policy has been criticised by some wildlife activists.
