ODONATA

Saving Threatened Species

We are empowering and enabling all Australians to save wildlife, reverse climate change and increase biodiversity.

Odonata featured on the project tv

Mt Rothwell is Odonata's founding sanctuary, located in Little River. It was established over the past two decades to protect some of Australia’s most threatened species. Featured on The Project, Mt Rothwell's two-metre-high feral-proof fence keeps out predators like cats, foxes, and rabbits, whilst our specialist team and volunteers monitor and support the sanctuary to thrive. Thanks to these efforts, native species like the eastern barred bandicoot and southern brush-tailed rock wallaby have been brought back from the brink of extinction. We invite you to watch and learn...

About us

Our vision is that by 2050, Australia's once threatened species are thriving outside of sanctuaries in healthy, productive landscapes.
