Numbats have stolen our hearts! These adorable marsupials sleep in hollow fallen logs or burrows and eat 20,000 termites a day with their long sticky tongues. They don’t drink water – termites keep them hydrated.
Numbat families used to live from Victoria to WA, but because of habitat destruction, foxes and cats, now they cling to existence in just two places in the wild.
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.

We are losing our biodiversity. Widespread clearing of habitats is causing immense damage to our environment. I am appalled and ashamed at the destruction of our land in the name of economic “progress “
My vote will go to the party who looks to the long term future and a healthy environment.
Numbats are endangered due to foxes, cats and habitat destruction. How many species will dissappear forever before real action is taken.
These animals need to be protected from the biggest destroyer of all. Human kind. One by one every single animal is going to die If we don’t do something
These marcipals are very unqiue in the world, and it is very important that the Australian government take seriously the impace that the loss of the this species would make in the environment of Australia. They are an important part of the our country and environment.
I have never been lucky enough to see a numbat in its natural habitat, but I pray that my and your grandchildren would be able to do so. This is why we need the best possible and strongest environmental protection laws available. I like to think that we could say “Not on my watch” that another Australian animal became extinct.
I am speaking to you, honourable sir/ madam. – So that our children and those born far into the future will still live in a world full of wonderful creatures and not in a barren wasteland , polluted by man and devoid of all beauty.
Can YOU and your conscience really condemn your children to a future hellhole devoid of the incredible wildlife that we are still lucky enough to see?? If not, speak up and take action now. For once, think like a true humanitarian and conservationist, instead of an uncaring politician.
I am 17 years of age, and I plan to travel and see the world when I graduate high school. I fear that we are losing our environment at such a rapid rate that I will not be able to experience our native flora and fauna when I travel around Australia.
This rapid loss is devastating, and it is up to the people of Australia to voice a need for change, but it is up to our government to listen. Please, on behalf of the young people who are yet to see the beauty our country has to offer, hear us now before it is too late.
Australian environmental laws should be far stronger; as a country, a continent and an island we have somes of the highest rates if species extinction in the world!
We need to act now to stop environmental degradation and further species extinction!
Nearly two thousand different species are at risk of extinction not only due to seasonal natural disasters like bushfires and floods, but mostly due to human behaviour such as the logging of what small amount of remaining forests wiping out their homes and food sources, or the pollution of their habitats causing any that survive to suffer long term side effects.
Like us, these creatures and their families are part of our fragile web of life. Break that web and everything unravels.
Palm Cockatoos, Numbats and legless lizards can’t go to Parliament House to demand protection. So it’s up to us to speak out for them.
We need strong national environmental laws to protect our threatened species and all our native birds and animals.The clearing of our native forests and bush also has to stop. If we loose these beautiful things we can never get them back.
all living creatures deserve a safe, clean place to live
Stated this already but stronger lares to protect the environment are crucial stop taking and rapping the land
Our environment laws are broken, they desperately need to be fixed. Creatures don’t have protection against sound, chemical pollution, habitat loss and climate change. We need to act now so that this beautiful planet of ours is still around, so the flora and fauna are still here, for future generations to enjoy!
How long can we go on destroying the environment and losing valuable biodiversity? We need stronger national environmental laws.
Human life depends on our entire ecosystem
We need to protect our threatened species.
