Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland (Wildlife Queensland) is the longest-running wildlife conservation organisation in Queensland. For more than 60 years we’ve worked to protect and conserve at-risk species and habitats, advocating for better environmental policy, delivering vital on-ground conservation programs, and raising awareness of wildlife conservation issues through education and community engagement.
A housing crisis is unfolding in Qld’s forests, but you can help …
We are launching our most urgent appeal yet, striving to raise $100,000 for a new project to preserve Queensland’s vital tree hollows. Hollows are critical for the survival of hundreds of species. But right now, they’re disappearing at an alarming rate.
Wildlife Queensland’s new project to collect eDNA samples from tree hollows, identify and safeguard trees, and advocate for stronger policies to protect hollow-bearing trees can help.
Every dollar you give brings us one step closer to protecting these vulnerable species and their homes, securing a future where they can thrive. Please donate today.Â

Species spotlight: Platypus
The aquatic, egg-laying platypus is one of Australia’s most bizarre and iconic mammals. Unfortunately, its habitat in Queensland has shrunk by 27 per cent over 30 years, and its numbers are declining.
Platypus populations occur throughout Tasmania and up the east coast of Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland as far as Cooktown. The platypus is now extinct in South Australia though Kangaroo Island has an introduced population.
