DONATE TO CHARITY AND ENDANGERED SPECIES

Platypus, eastern quolls and brush-tailed bettongs are dying out.

Your tax deductible charity donation can help protect the newborn babies that will give these endangered animals a future.

Their species need them to survive. They need you.

The newborn young of reintroduced platypus, eastern quolls and brush-tailed bettongs, are bringing joy to conservationists and everyone who loves Australian wildlife. But in a world filled with feral cats and foxes, chainsaws and bulldozers, these threatened species can't just be left to fend for themselves. These are the baby animals that can save their species. Please donate today to help provide long term protection against loss of habitat, fund health checks and lower the risk of extinction.

Care for Gilli and other platypus babies

Gilli is the first platypus born in the Hastings River in Sydney’s Royal National Park for fifty years. She’s the strongest sign yet that platypus could one day thrive in these waterways again.   

Now Gilli is hope that her small population and beloved species can hang on into the future. But they need your help. Your donation can help keep an eye on water quality and the supply of platypus food – such as prawns, shrimps, crayfish, snails, mussels and dragonflies.

Raise a new generation of eastern quolls

In a protected area in Booderee National Park on the NSW South Coast, four jelly-bean sized babies are staying warm in their mother’s pouch. You can’t tell yet, but they’re eastern quolls. One day, they could have their own offspring.

You can make sure they survive predators and habitat destruction long enough for that to happen. You’d be helping bring eastern quolls back to mainland Australia after more than 50 years of local extinction.

Support bettongs to thrive and become parents

The brush-tailed bettongs you’ve helped return to South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula are having a baby boom.   

It’s devastating that predators and deforestation have nearly driven these little marsupials into extinction. Their digging helps plant the native vegetation that makes Australia what it is.   

Your support is vital to help keep brush-tailed bettong babies healthy and safe from threats - so they can start other communities around Australia.  

Support bettongs today

These little baby animals face big threats.  

It will take a huge collective effort to raise and protect them.  

It will take new technology, traditional fieldwork, and better nature laws that protect threatened Australian animals and the environments they depend on to survive.  

 Your support today can also fund vital conservation efforts that give animals here and around the world a better future. Australian wildlife conservation efforts depend upon wildlife charity and environment charity donations. Help support and protect our unique native animals.

Donate this holiday season to help save the babies that can save their species.
