Mission Statement
Our mission is to save Australian endangered species from extinction by creating insurance populations of genetically diverse, healthy animals to mitigate the possible threat of extinction. Our cost-effective, efficient, captive breeding and rewilding conservation programs have proven successful for endangered marsupials, like devils, quolls and wallabies; and we are now expanding our programs to save other species threatened with extinction, including snakes, turtles, frogs and rodents. Our goals are to inform, educate, conserve and make a real contribution to species protection and biodiversity conservation.
About This Cause
Reversing Australia’s Biodiversity Crisis Aussie Ark is the only targeted, threatened-species conservation charity working to reverse biodiversity loss in Australia through programs that breed, rewild, and protect native species. “Australia’s wildlife is disappearing before our eyes. We have the worst mammal extinction rate on Earth, but the good news is, we know how to fix it. Aussie Ark is proving that with the right action, we can bring our native species back from the brink.” Tim Faulkner, Director, Aussie Ark Of Australia’s 273 land mammal species found nowhere else on Earth, around 11% are already extinct, 21% are threatened, and 15% are near-threatened. Aussie Ark’s work is vital in turning this around by rebuilding populations, restoring habitat, and securing a future for Australia’s most vulnerable wildlife. Founded on the NSW Central Coast in partnership with the Australian Reptile Park, Aussie Ark began by saving the Tasmanian Devil from extinction. Today, it is home to over 17 threatened species, including the Eastern Quoll, Koala, Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby, Greater Glider, and Broad-toothed Rat. Through large-scale breeding programs, land restoration, community partnerships, and science-led rewilding, Aussie Ark is creating safe, wild sanctuaries where native animals can thrive once again. Together, we are proving that extinction can be stopped and Australia’s wildlife can be brought back from the brink.
