Mallee fowl had a once-extensive range over much of Australia, but the past century resulted in a decline of over 50%; southern Australia has the only remaining populations of mallee fowl, and despite numbers estimated to be well over 100,000 individual birds it is known that concentrations of birds are fragmented, with a large number of abandoned mounds.  The ICUN Red List classifies the bird as vulnerable in its remaining range, giving as threats introduced predators (foxes, feral dogs, etc), uncontrolled wildfires, and expanding livestock grazing.<ref>http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/22678646/0</ref><ref>http://www.arkive.org/malleefowl/leipoa-ocellata/</ref>
