Bird flu could be one of the worst wildlife disasters that Australia faces. 

Australian wildlife is already stressed from existing threats to their habitats. So, when major global threats like bird flu hit Australia’s shores, it creates a very high risk of extinction for species that are already critically endangered. 

Although bird flu primarily affects birds—including penguins, marine mammals like seals are also at high risk, as are scavengers like Tasmanian devils and quolls. Whales and dolphins have also been impacted. 

Wilderness Society and other environment groups are calling on the government for an additional $200 million to protect Australia's wildlife. This is needed to help the most at-risk animals survive the bird flu outbreak. Use this simple form to email federal Environment Minister Murray Watt and your local MP today.
