What we do
Our Work to Protect Australia’s Wildlife
Practical, outcome-based conservation
Aussie Ark is committed to native wildlife conservation. With a team of driven and focused individuals and supported by collaborative partners and community, Aussie Ark is determined to achieve its objectives supported and informed by world-class science.
Insurance Breeding
Our insurance breeding programs serve as a safety net for species on the brink. By creating strong, genetically diverse populations in protected environments, we safeguard animals from the threats of predation, habitat loss, and disease. These programs mean that species like the Tasmanian Devil, Broad-Toothed Rats, Broad-Headed Snakes and endangered Freshwater Turtles have a secure future - one where extinction is no longer the only path. Every joey, hatchling, or baby animal born is a step toward recovery, providing the foundation to rewild animals and restore balance to the ecosystems they support.
Rewilding
Rewilding is one of the core reasons we exist. It means returning endangered animals from our insurance breeding programs into safe sanctuaries, wild habitats, and partner sites beyond our own. From turtles released into rivers to Tasmanian Devils and Eastern Quolls roaming vast landscapes, rewilding allows species to live, breed, and restore ecosystems. Every rewilding project helps rebuild wild populations and strengthens the future of Australia’s native wildlife.
Our Animals
Aussie Ark is home to some of Australia’s most threatened wildlife. Within our sanctuaries, our animals are given a safe haven to grow and recover, free from the pressures of predation, habitat degradation, and disease. Each animal plays a vital role in restoring balance to our ecosystems, and by protecting them, we’re helping rewrite the future for Australian wildlife.
Conservation Projects
We’re providing safe havens for flora and fauna to thrive, protected from the threat of foreign predators.
