The platypus, an egg-laying mammal, is also at risk due to habitat loss, pollution, and the effects of climate change. Populations have declined by up to 30% in some areas, and the species is now considered near threatened.
Wallabies and numbats are also under threat in Australia. The black-flanked rock-wallaby, for example, has seen a significant population decline due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and hunting.
The numbat, a small marsupial, is listed as endangered due to habitat loss, introduced predators, and disease.
Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these unique and important species and their habitats. Supporting organisations that work to conserve and protect these species can help to ensure their survival for future generations.
Numbat populations have decreased by over 80% in the past century, and now only a few thousand individuals remain in the wild.
Koalas are adorable creatures associated with the Australian ecosystem. With big eyes, a cute face and fuzzy body, these lovable Aussies continue to melt people’s hearts across the globe. Koalas sleep up to 18-22 hours a day! Their diet of eucalyptus leaves is so low in nutrients that they conserve energy by snoozing most of the time. They’re super picky eaters. Out of 700+ species of eucalyptus, they only munch on about 50, and their taste buds are highly refined to avoid toxic leaves. This means that they are a vital part of the Australian ecosystem by helping to regulate eucalyptus growth.
Koalas have been listed as endangered and require prompt action to prevent them from going completely extinct. Habitat loss is the greatest contributing factor to the decline in koala population. This means that if we protect their habitat, we can help koalas to repopulate, strengthening their chances of survival.
The Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is a non-profit organisation that works to protect and conserve Australia's threatened wildlife and ecosystems through on-ground conservation actions, scientific research, and education. AWC owns and manages over 4.5 million hectares of land across Australia, making it the largest private owner of land for conservation in the country.
The organisation's work is crucial as Australia has one of the highest rates of species extinction in the world, with over 1,800 plant and animal species currently listed as threatened or endangered. The AWC focuses on conserving some of Australia's most endangered species, including the numbat, gouldian finch, and western quoll, among others, by using a science-based approach to manage threats such as feral predators and habitat destruction. The organisation also aims to restore and maintain the health of ecosystems, recognizing that the conservation of Australia's wildlife is linked to the health of its landscapes.
