Northern hairy-nosed wombats are now CRITICALLY ENDANGERED

As of February 15th, 2018, the federal Department of the Environment and Energy (DoEE) upgraded the conservation status of the NHW from Endangered to Critically Endangered. However, this change does not indicate a lack of success in ongoing conservation efforts of the species. The change occurred as part of a process by DoEE, State and Territory conservation agencies to align the categories for threatened species in Australia with those used by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. 

We can all do our part in continuing to help raise awareness for these critically endangered, precious creatures by signing this petition. 

Remember, every petition matters!
