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.

Let’s preserve species for our children..more green wedges please
People disregard the laws and do untold damages to the environment. When found out they mearly get a slap on the hand. The EPA are some of the most gutless, usless, incompetent people to ever get government salaries. If you do not stop our planets degradation there will be nothing for the next generations. It seems pretty simple to me.
Not enough is being done to protect habitat build and replace shelter and food plants and maintain Bush land corridors in infrastructure planning.
Species are wiped out from starvation and exposure to traffic and lack of nesting places to breed.
Don’t let another iconic animal Ben lost to our world
We need to save our animals to save ourselves, before we all become extinct
Please look at environmental laws to help protect our native species such as the numbat
To protect and leave SOME habitat for all of our little creatures that were here long before us. Is it to logical to realise we can’t keep raping & pilaging the environment even for us as a species?
Dear Mr Coleman
Australia is fast loosing our precious endangered native animals like the numbat.
We need stronger environment laws to protect what is endangered. Please support the protection required. Thank you
Please protect species & habitat from further destruction & threat. Its for the future generations 👣🐾
what will you tell your grandchildren, " Animals were amazing, sorry I didn’t help save them, I did nothing when I had the chance" or “I helped save the animals for the future, they needed us to stand up and give them a voice and I did”
I’m fed up of seeing land cleared for human development. We aren’t the only ones on this planet. The Australian government should be far more concerned with the environment than they are.
You have to make sure that our forests and bush are not knocked down to protect our native animals and not let extinction of our native animals occur
Too many animals are becoming extinct on this planet. Please don’t let the numbat become another one.
To put a STOP to the mindless greed of some humans. You are our voice, please use it for our environment.
If we don’t do something we will have no wildlife left. Please bring in laws that conserve our natural habitats.
We simply cannot survive without nature around us! They are just as important as us and should be protected.

Animals and the environment are just as important as people and your job is to do something about endangered wild life and ecosystems so do it. Listen to us!! Save the Numbat species! For a start.
We have so much unique flora and it needs to be protected.

Ecology is our wealth and responsibility.
Dear Politician
I remember back in the late 1970’s when I completed a primary school project about the numbat. I don’t remember too much about my other primary school projects but I do remember choosing the cute numbat to read about. It is with great shock to learn.that it’s low numbers is leading to extinction. Please help them to regain their numbers so that future generations can learn too. The numbats were here first! And money is just a piece of paper.
Regards
Marisa
