$100,000 awarded to help save our Aussie species – NSW

24 JULY 2017 – Saving the iconic koala and emu in New South Wales are the aims of two recently funded volunteer projects focusing on tackling the issue of endangered species.

Destruction and encroachment of native habitats by humans, feral animals, and introduced plant species has contributed to 161 species now classified as endangered. Thanks to the volunteer efforts of thousands of Australians, there is hope for saving our treasured animals from extinction.
