PROTECT OUR PLATYPUS TODAY

Platypus are disappearing from our landscapes. You can help bring them back.

Many Australian animals are unusual in their own way. But the platypus is the most unique of them all. They’re mammals that lay eggs and have a bill and flippers, which is an amazing evolutionary feat. But in the last 150 to 200 years, they’ve come under threat.

THE PLATYPUS IS FACING A SILENT EXTINCTION

The changing climate and associated catastrophic bushfires and droughts, new dams, the over-extraction of water from rivers, land clearing, attacks by foxes, dogs, and cats, pollution and urban sprawl present serious threats to platypus.

You can take action by adopting a platypus today.

Your support is vital to help PROTECT PLATYPUS

Your platypus adoption today can help research and monitor their populations across eastern states and support the implementation and monitoring of a unique rewilding program that reintroduced platypuses back into areas where they once thrived.

Your generosity will be a symbol of your support for conservation and animal advocacy, ensuring our amazing platypus remain in our local ecosystems forever.

And for each platypus you assist, you'll help a host of other native species too. As well as teaching younger generations about the importance of conservation.
