National Threatened Species Day: A time of reflection and hope

In honour of National Threatened Species Day, we’re sharing stories about some of Australia’s most threatened species, and others who weren’t able to be saved.

Every year, 7 September marks National Threatened Species Day, a day initially established to commemorate the death of the last Tasmanian Tiger and that provides a chance to recognise other Australian animal and plant species that are facing a similar fate.

So how can you help threatened species? Perhaps you enjoy volunteering with your local community environment group, or taking part in the Threatened Species Bake Off [external link]. Education is a powerful tool that can help us as a society move the needle on threatened species. These books delve into the stories of species at risk, offering readers the opportunity to learn about their local threatened species, discover the conservation efforts of scientists and communities, and reflect on the species we’ve already lost.
