Wildlife Queensland is dedicated to protecting our native animals.

With over 850 different bird species, 760 reptile species and approximately 390 mammal species in Australia, chances are most people will encounter wildlife at some stage. Most native wildlife will unobtrusively occupy available bushland and 'go about their business of finding food, avoiding predators and raising a family'.

Activities that reduce or remove their available living space or habitat will contribute to their eventual decline or loss from that area. Feral animals and domestic pets are also threats as they can make these smaller bushland pockets even more dangerous for native animals, particularly at night.

Wildlife Queensland's objectives are...

• to preserve the fauna and flora of Australia
• to educate about the principles of conservation and preservation of the natural environment
• to discourage the destruction, exploitation and unnecessary development of any part of the natural environment
• to encourage rational land use and proper planning of future development and use of the natural environment
