Invasive species are driving more than 80 per cent of Australia’s most vulnerable native plants and animals towards extinction.
Take action today
Don’t let governments off the hook, help us call for real action that protects our natural environment from invasive species.
No country on Earth has parrots like ours. Of the 56 species found in Australia, 51 live nowhere else, from the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot to the swift parrot.

Australia’s wildlife is under attack. 365 days a year, 24 hours a day – invasive species are capturing and killing native animals, trashing and trampling protected areas and driving our wildlife closer to extinction.
