DONATE TO CHARITY
Donate today to help save the bandicoot, bettong, and potoroo from extinction.
They need your help to survive.
Bettongs, potoroos and bandicoots are all ecosystem engineers. Their digging helps shape Australia's iconic nature. But these small but vital animals are disappearing fast. Your tax-deductible donation here now can help them bounce back. Your generosity can help bring them back into areas they've already disappeared from and protect them while they build up numbers again.
It won't be Australia without them. Your gift can help them bounce back from the brink of extinction.
These incredible marsupials are now locally extinct in so many of the places they once called home. Industrial machines have carved up their habitat. Foxes and cats have decimated their populations. Now, our little diggers are gone from many of the places where they were once abundant.
The eastern bettong went extinct on mainland Australia a century ago. The woylie (or brush-tailed bettong) survives only in small pockets of its former range across southern Australia.
The southern brown bandicoot is also Endangered and declining. It is now only found in isolated patches across its once expansive range.
Long-nosed potoroos are in trouble too, with their populations now dangerously fragmented in southeastern Australia.
Without protection from predators and a place to live, these small but mighty marsupials will continue to go missing from our landscapes.
Will you please help them bounce back?

Your gift can help them bounce back from the brink of extinction.
For millennia, these little marsupials have shaped Australia's forests, providing homes and food for iconic wildlife. When digging for food, they turn over huge amounts of soil and bury seeds – which helps vegetation to flourish.
Rewilding and protection work is giving several threatened species a chance to bounce back from the brink of extinction – and bring landscapes with them.
Your donation can:
Reverse
A hundred years of man-made extinction and reintroduce the eastern bettongs to Yiraaldiya National Park in Sydney's west.
Bring back
The long-nosed potoroo and southern brown bandicoot to rewild Booderee National Park on the NSW South Coast.
Protect
South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula to survey woylies and ensure this new community can sustain itself into the future.
The future of these vital Australian marsupials – and our nature - depends on your support today.
It won’t be Australia without these small creatures who have a big job. Today, they need your help to survive.
Together we can make sure extinction is not the next step for these critically important animals. Caring people like you can make the most powerful difference to their lives and our nature’s future.
