The platypus is JUST ONE of our many unique native species at risk of being lost forever.
As a nation, Australia has already lost more mammals to extinction in the last 200 years than every other country in the world combined. We simply can’t lose more. The fight to protect our at-risk wildlife is more crucial than ever.
Unique species like our legendary platypus, the beautiful greater glider and glossy black cockatoo are under threat. In the face of escalating dangers like extreme fires, floods, droughts, introduced predators and habitat loss, they’re sliding ever closer to extinction.
Please make your urgent tax-deductible donation today to protect our precious animals and their habitats, and give them their best chance of survival. You'll be supporting our nation’s BIGGEST ever wildlife restoration program – Regenerate Australia – and help stop this shocking extinction crisis.

Every species matters
Not only to the survival of our unique wildlife, but to our ecosystems, to our land – and to us. Tragically 67 Australian animal species have already been lost forever. We must do everything we can to protect the ones that are left. Here’s how your support today could help our remaining species survive.
Provide the safe shelter and food necessary to survive
Glossy black cockatoos and greater gliders have been severely hit by ongoing tree-clearing and the impact of climate change, which is increasing the number of devastating extreme weather events. Your support could help give them their best chance of survival with purpose-built nesting hollows, and planting the food trees glossies need to survive in the future.
Increased veterinary care for wildlife
With climate-fuelled disasters on the rise, you can help more animals survive through increased veterinary care for wildlife. There’s an urgent need to better prepare veterinary professionals in the treatment and care of wildlife. Both for animals affected by bushfire or floods, but also for the day-to-day care of wildlife presented to clinics across the country – because of vehicle collisions and attacks by domesticated animals.
Restoring waterways and platypus to areas where they once thrived
As the sentinels of our freshwater ecosystems platypus alert us to the health of our rivers, and are therefore vital to the survival of hundreds of other species. However up to 73% of platypus could be gone in the next 50 years due to vegetation loss, introduced predators, drought and pollution. Your support could help re-establish this unique species to places where they once thrived, helping protect not only platypus but a whole host of other species too.
Your generous tax-deductible donation is your chance to make a huge impact for the animals you care about.
“Extinction can be a silent experience. Species that we once remembered seeing in our youth can slowly disappear. While it’s obviously terrible for an ecosystem to lose something that has been a part of it for perhaps millions of years, it’s just as terrible for us humans. It’s the extinction of the experience of living with these incredibly interesting creatures that is so immediately detrimental to us all." - Rob Brewster, WWF-Australia Rewilding Expert
Soon these animals could only live on through the stories we tell our children. We haven’t yet seen the last of the platypus, greater glider or glossy black cockatoo, but we will if we don’t act now.
Help save our species and stop this extinction crisis from accelerating. Please donate today to help give unique Aussie animals like the platypus, greater glider and glossy black cockatoo their best chance of survival whilst reducing your taxable income with a gift to charity today.
Because the animals can’t wait.
