National Threatened Species Day

WILD LIFE Sydney joined other zoos at Martin Place in Sydney today in recognition of National Threatened Species Day.

National Threatened Species Day is held every year on 7th September to commemorate the death of the last remaining Tasmanian Tiger in 1936. Australia has the highest rate of mammal extinction of any continent, and as an industry, we use National Threatened Species Day to highlight the pressure on wildlife, and highlight the good work that is done.

There are many factors that lead to species becoming endangered or threatened, including habitat loss, cars, and feral animals. We can help in our everyday activities by supporting healthy habitats through not littering, and planting trees; and being a responsible pet owner.

WILD LIFE Sydney replicated our Gumtree Valley Habitat at Martin Place with some of our incredible animals, including Terry the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, Fiona the Bush-stone Curlew, Candii the Sugar-Glider and Buu the Koala.

You can meet see all of these animals and more everyday here at WILD LIFE Sydney, and learn more about what you can do to help the plight of these threatened Australian Animals.
