$10 Could help to safely translocate platypus and ensure they survive.

The platypus is a symbol of Australia. With pride of place on our 20 cent coin, the platypus is etched into the hearts and minds of all Australians. Found nowhere else in the world, the platypus acts as the climate change 'canaries' of our freshwater ecosystems, alerting us to the health of our rivers - just as koalas do for our forests.

Tragically, bushfires and terrible drought have had a devastating impact on platypus populations. We're seeing populations disappear from entire river systems in the blink of an eye.

Please help save our platypus populations from extinction before it's too late.

Your support could also help to:

- Buy testing tools to assess the well-being of our platypus populations and keep them healthy

- Buy underwater cameras that are essential to monitoring platypus numbers and their distribution

- Track post-release platypus populations using specialist acoustic equipment.
