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.

Unique Australian wildlife that deserves to live as much as you or me. Stop the causes of environmental damage that are decimating populations of these sentient animals.
Again the oceans need help, you can make a difference if only you would wake up and do something to protect rather than pirate these waters, the oceans are dying, don’t you get it!
All life on earth needs to be helped & protected. No living souls should ever be extinct. We need to help all animal life where ever possibble. Very sad, i will help where ever i can, speak up for the voiceless
Please help protect these beautiful creatures with better environment laws.
The Largetooth sawfish will become extinct if its plight as an endangered species is ignored. Please pay attention and protect the ocean environment to ensure the survival of this sawfish and all other species.
All animals are essential to our ecosystem, if some die it could have a donimo effect killing many other animals who no longer have their primary food source, and then another animal who’s food source was that animal, and the domino affect continues.
Even our very existence may depend on the preservation of these animals as we are apart of the ecosystem ourselves, for example if the bee goes extinct it could mean the end of the human race, and who knows what animals it’s survival depends on, the ecosystem is a complex thing.
I’d rather preserve something that is beautuful and unrenewable than allow people to fill their pockets with money, more money than they need to sustain themselves. If someone is getting rich at the expense of destroying unrenewable ecosystems, that is indicative of a lack of empathy.
They are part of our ecology !
Don’t let another rare species become extinct!

To the Honourable Minister
of Parliament,
I am writing about the:
Large tooth Saw fish,
I urge you to stop logging.
This is their habitat:
Species like this will become extinct.
They are part of the planet.
and also have a voice.
Please reverse your decision.
Yours sincerely.
Catharina de Graaff.
When are we going to stop putting our back pockets in front of the very existence of unique life forms on this planet?
To allow a species to become extinct is a tragedy bordering on criminality. To deprive our children and theirs of enjoying our unique wildlife is immeasurable
All animals need to be protected! Our greed does not trump the welfare/existence of all the other animals in the animal kingdom!
Once they’re gone they’re gone :-(
Please help save the wonderful Largetooth Sawfish from extinction.
