Habitat. Lower and mid-montane primary forests. In areas where Stein’s Cuscus has been best studied, it inhabits primary oak forest and appears to tolerate only a limited amount of disturbance.

Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Principal conservation threats to Stein’s Cuscus include extensive clearing of habitat and widespread hunting. Areas where it primarily occurs are in the elevational range most favored for traditional gardens, so it is likely that its habitat is disturbed throughout most ofits potential distribution.
