Threatened Species Day – Project Numbat

National Threatened Species Day occurs every year on September 7th and marks the day the last Tasmanian tiger (Thylacine) died in captivity.

Join us on Threatened Species Day for a talk by zoologist Rob Hemsworth, President of Project Numbat, about the conservation of Western Australia's unique mammal emblem.

Numbats are under threat from habitat loss and introduced predators like foxes and feral cats. With an estimated population of approximately 2000 individuals, they need our help.

Project Numbat promotes community awareness of the numbat and is involved in numbat conservation by assisting the Numbat Recovery Program. This includes habitat management, population monitoring, feral predator control, education and awareness programs and fundraising for numbat conservation.
