National Threatened Species Day

What Is National Threatened Species Day?

National Threatened Species Day spotlights the importance of protecting Australia’s wildlife and draws attention to species that are at risk of extinction. It celebrates the conservation efforts being made to ensure we don’t lose any further species.

Held every year on September 7, this day marks the anniversary of the death of the last Tasmanian tiger in 1936. The inaugural National Threatened Species Day was held in 1996 and has been marked every year since.
