Adopt an eastern quoll

Eastern quolls, once found all over Australia’s south-east, disappeared from the mainland 60 years ago – and even where they remain in Tasmania, their numbers are declining.   

When you symbolically adopt an eastern quoll, you’ll help turn their story around. You’ll be a part of rewilding endeavours to reintroduce the eastern quoll to the NSW South Coast as the first step in reestablishing them on the mainland, helping boost their chances of survival in the long term.

Adopt a platypus

Many Australian animals are unusual in their own way, but the platypus may be the most unique of them all. Sadly, their numbers have decreased by 20% in the last 20 years as land clearing has destroyed their habitat and their waterways have been polluted. 

By symbolically adopting a platypus today, you can help newly reintroduced platypus stay healthy and thrive in their new home. Your generosity could also support valuable research helping to restore platypus populations, as well as help push for stronger nature laws to protect their habitat.

Adopt a koala

From deadly disease to catastrophic wildfires, floods, and rampant deforestation - koalas have been hit from all angles. Now uplisted to ENDANGERED status along Australia's east coast, they're at a critical crossroad and urgently need your help.  

By symbolically adopting a koala today, you'll help protect them from deadly Chlamydia that is decimating their populations. You’ll also help create safe wildlife habitat corridors by protecting and restoring their forest homes. Your generosity will play a key role in helping double koala numbers by 2050, ensuring this much-loved Aussie icon is safe from extinction.

Adopt a tiger

Daily threats continue to threaten tigers' survival. Their body parts are in relentless demand, leaving them in constant danger of illegal poaching. An estimated 95% of their habitat has been destroyed, their forest homes cleared for agriculture, timber and road building. By adopting a tiger today, you could help tackle the daily dangers they face and help their population thrive.
