Sugar gliders may persist in areas that have undergone mild-moderate selective logging, as long as three to five hollow bearing trees are retained per hectare. [56] Although not currently threatened by habitat loss, the ability of sugar gliders to forage and avoid predators successfully may be decreased in areas of high light pollution. [57]
Krefft's gliders are popular as pets in the United States, where they are bred in large numbers.

Like most of the wrist-winged gliders, the squirrel glider is endemic to Australia. It is about twice the size of the related sugar glider (P. breviceps). Its body is 18–23 cm long and its tail measures at 22–33 cm long. [4] It weighs about 230g or 0.5 lbs. [5] They have blue-grey or brown-grey fur on their back and a white belly.
The yellow-bellied glider is the largest species of Petaurus, the wrist-winged gliders, a group of arboreal marsupials, and can glide up to 150 m. [11] The yellow-bellied glider has been observed to jump up to 100 m [12] or 114 m. [6] It is similar in appearance to the mahogany glider, although slightly larger in size.
