Rewilding
Australia’s Wildlife is at Risk
Australia is home to some of the most extraordinary wildlife on the planet, with animals found nowhere else in the world. Yet, these unique species are vanishing. Habitat destruction, feral predators, disease and climate change have pushed many to the edge of extinction. Without urgent action, future generations may never know the call of a quoll or the sight of a Tasmanian Devil in the wild. Aussie Ark exists to change that story; creating a future where native species can thrive once more.
The Power of Rewilding
Rewilding goes beyond protecting animals; it restores entire ecosystems. By reintroducing keystone species, Aussie Ark helps nature rebuild itself. Devils, quolls, wallabies and bettongs are not just individuals to be saved, they are ecological engineers. Their presence balances prey populations, regenerates native plants, and strengthens the resilience of landscapes.
Through rewilding, Aussie Ark is bringing back the missing pieces of Australia’s natural puzzle, creating stronger and more self-sustaining wild places for the future.
Bringing Australia’s Wildlife Back From the Brink
Aussie Ark’s rewilding projects focus on species that once roamed Australia in abundance but are now rare or locally extinct. These animals are not just surviving; they are breeding, reclaiming their place, and slowly restoring the ecological heartbeat of the bush.
Every release is a step towards rewriting the story of extinction into one of survival and renewal.
Our Sanctuaries
At the heart of Aussie Ark’s mission are its predator-proof sanctuaries. These safe havens are vast, wild spaces where endangered animals can live without threat from foxes and feral cats.
Within these protected landscapes, populations grow stronger and healthier until they are ready for release into larger, wilder habitats. Each sanctuary is a living laboratory of hope, proving that with the right conditions, nature has the power to heal itself.
