We’re in the business of saving species. Working around the clock to recover 9 core species over the next decade – because if we don’t, we’ll lose them forever.

We’re busy little bandicoots at Odonata because there are over 500 animals on the threatened species list in Australia.

We won’t be stopping at our top 9, so we need all the help we can get.

Are you with us?

If you’re not quite sold, we get it, there are a million causes to support.

Maybe this incredible feat will seal the deal… back in 2004, we had just 24 mainland eastern barred bandicoots. Now Odonata’s sanctuary network is home to over 6,000 bandicoots. Friends, that’s 80% of the remaining mainland population!

Not only did we achieve genetic rescue*, our work, and the work of our recovery partners, contributed to the eastern barred bandicoot being downlisted from ‘extinct in the wild’ to ‘endangered’— only the second time in Australia that conservation efforts have achieved such a reclassification for a land-based mammal.

That’s a big deal in the conservation world!
