Largetooth sawfish are some of the world’s rarest and most endangered fish.
They use their sensitive snouts to detect the heartbeats of their prey. Baby sawfish are called pups – they have special gel over their sharp saws to protect their mums while they’re being born!
But these prehistoric fish are tangled up in modern-day environmental damage, and now they’re critically endangered.
Will you lodge a missing creature alert with your local Member of Parliament? Tell them we need strong national environment laws to protect the places and wildlife we love – and ask them to raise this with their party leader.
Fill out the webform with your name and why you care. We'll print your name and message on a special missing creature alert and post it to your local MP. If you prefer, you can print and post it yourself.

It’s a no brainer that we need stronger protection for endangered animals. Please do your job and make this happen.
If we allow the continued destruction of critical habitat resulting in the extinction of so many species we will be the disgrace of the future. We will go down in history as the generation that failed to coexist peacefully and respectfully with our natural environment and, in our greed and disregard for consequence, denied our fellow inhabitants their right to exist
losing these fish would be a sad disaster, let’s save them
It makes me sad to think that Australia’s unique and distinct ecosystem is dying because humanity refuses to protect it. What will you do to fix it?
Largetooth Sawfish are one of the world’s rarest and most endangered fish and they are found in Australia. However with today’s modern environmental damage they are now critically endangered and it’s our responsibility to save their environment to save them.
We need strong national environmental Laws to protect the places these creatures and other live.
I care for biodiversity and the environment and I want you to represent me by making a difference and supporting strong National Environmental protection laws. Please

Every extinction shrinks our humanity
I am hear to speak up for every creature who needs help from human beings who are taking over their world. Every living creature, big or small should be important to us all.
Dear Minister.
Australian wildlife and wilderness are under as much pressure now as ever before. Government after Government have failed to protect our great unique environment. Government failures are the reason we are where we are because ‘YOU’ are the law makers. No one else can make laws to defend wilderness and wildlife. Politicians have to take responsibility for this and do what is right. How many more years will we have this story? Not too many or to many? Depending on which one there will be or there wont be some of these creatures. What are you going to do?
Regards.
Mal Hull.
Biodiversity is vital to the health of the planet and our own health and wellbeing. Losing beautiful Australian fauna to extinction is a tragedy that can and should be prevented.
Australia could be known as the last environmental stronghold of diverse wildlife. But instead we are being known for our apathy to the environment. Please do something to change this, for the better of our country and the world.
Gwenyth Broug as a teacher I am aware that the Australian Education National Curriculum teaches sustainability and the web of life. Students are given the impression that governments actually care and are protecting the environment. Tragic that they are being misled and losing all the incredible diversity of life.
Please, as Our Representative in Parliament, bring attention to the gravity of wittingly allowing continued extinction of flora and fauna in Australia, for want of a government who truly cares for Our Environment.
Humans are the Carers of Everything, according to Aboriginal Knowing, and Our Governments are clearly not comprehending or displaying the Wisdom of Our Ancient Ones, by continued neglect of Our Natural World.
Please represent those of us who Care for Our Earth.
Hi Greg. I am concerned about all diminishing wildlife on our continent and in the seas.
