Save threatened native animals now

Thanks to people just like you, Taronga has spent decades protecting wildlife from extinction. Today, that expertise is helping respond to the growing threat of bird flu.

This incredibly infectious disease is estimated to have killed millions of birds and mammals around the world. Now, Australian animals face that threat too…

This comes only five years after three billion Aussie animals were killed or displaced in the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires.

The extinction crisis Australia faces is already enormous.What we urgently need now is the capacity to respond at scale.

💚 Please donate today to help protect Australia's most vulnerable wildlife and support the recovery efforts these species will need in the months and years ahead.

Yes. Our two zoos are still open. There have been no changes to our zoo experience in response to
bird flu. All presentations, keeper talks and encounters are continuing as planned.

If you see sick or dead wild birds or marine mammals, its important you:
- Avoid contact
- Record what you see
- Report to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline – 1800 675 888 – and follow their advice

For centuries, First Nations people have cared so passionately for the wildlife, water and land they thrived on. Taronga is following in their footsteps to continue to protect Australian wildlife.
