National Threatened Species Day (7 Sept)

Moorabool Shire Council

Last Wednesday 7 September marked an important date in Australian history — the death of the last remaining Tasmanian tiger in 1936.

We now aim to raise awareness of plants and animals that are at risk of extinction and celebrate the important conservation work taking place.

Australia has over 500,000 species found nowhere else in the world. It’s up to us to help protect and conserve these species to maintain our rich biodiversity.
