Pademelons, wallabies, and possums are some of Australia’s most beloved and internationally recognised animals. Found only in Australia, kangaroos are struggling to survive after 200 years of being hunted and killed as a ‘pest’, without significant intervention by government.

These animals lose their homes and are often killed by extensive land clearing for agriculture, forestry and urban development. We also know that in recent extensive bushfires, many native animals perished.

Environmentally sensitive tourism could add significantly to the Tasmanian economy and provide new jobs. Yet human destruction of the natural environment is pushing some beloved icons towards extinction.

Macropods and possums deserve safety from harm by humans. We will stand up for these unique, beloved animals.

Please sign to join our call to: 

1. Stop the commercial slaughter of macropods and possums, and demand a ban on the export of skins, furs and meat. 
2. Demand the Federal Minister for the Environment to work with state and territory ministers to protect Forester Kangaroos from further exploitation. 

By signing, your support is registered and will be presented to the relevant State & Federal Ministers by our campaign team, and we'll keep you notified of any updates.
