The iconic species that define Australia – koalas, wallabies, and wombats, are disappearing from our native landscape. It will be hard to bring them back from the brink of extinction. But do you know what will be even harder? Admitting that we didn’t do enough to save them.
Queensland is currently facing an extinction crisis. In fact, over 900 native species are threatened with extinction from the region. Species like the Bridled Nail-tail Wallaby, the Northern Brown Bandicoot, and even our beloved Koala are facing invasive species and habitat loss.

Please make a generous donation today. You can play a fundamental role in helping expanding native ecosystems, the first step in protecting our native mammals. Goonderoo Reserve is home to a group of rapidly vanishing ecosystems – among them the crucially important Brigalow shrublands. This once extensive habitat has fallen prey to large-scale land clearing. Only 6% remains, and only 2% is protected. It's here in Goonderoo that we have the best chance to protect and regenerate some of the remaining shrubby woodlands.
Could contribute to implementing feral predator management techniques on our reserves.
Could support managing invasive weeds, such as Buffel Grass and Sword Pears at Goonderoo, which can smother and out-compete native vegetation.
Could go towards plants and seeds to restore habitat on Goonderoo Reserve for the endangered Bridled Nail-tail Wallaby.
Could help fund fire management through firebreaks and prescribed burns to help protect critical habitats for threatened native species.
