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.

It is becoming more evident that we need to start protecting our environment.
Care instead of money maybe!
With rampant habitat destruction and unchecked climate change due to your government’s lack of leadership to transition away from coal, more and more animals and once pristine environments are under a huge threat. It is time for action.
Numbats are Western Australia’s faunal emblem yet are hovering on the edge of extinction. Please raise this issue with your colleagues and leader before we have to face the humiliation of needing to select a new state emblem because the last one was eaten by foxes.
Because they are so cute.
These are precious native species that are irreplaceable!
This is really very important – the environmental devastation is increasingly threatening many species of birds, animals and plants native to Australia.
Action, that is brave action, is needed right now from you as our elected representative.
Please … take up the cause and make action happen now.
Like everything in our world, numbats are sacred. If endangered humans are, at least, partly responsible. Do something now, don’t wait till it’s too late.

Imagine a world without this incredible creature?! I love Australia’s quirky and beautiful animals, and hope one day that I can giggle at them, watch them and enjoy them with my kids! Stronger nature laws are needed now. Numbats are hilarious, and it hits me straight to the heart to imagine that I might be the last generation able to appreciate these little guys! LESS than 1000 left, people! Do the right thing and protect these wonderful critters

It would be too sad to see such a beautiful creature lost forever. We urgently need to environment laws to protect the animals we love.
