Meet Australia’s incredible Mountain pygmy-possum (Burramys parvus) – a tiny native marsupial that hibernates under the snow.
These extraordinary creatures capture a piece of Australia's very soul – one of a kind, found nowhere else on earth.
Tragically, Mountain pygmy-possums are heading towards extinction, with only around 2,000 left in the wild.
These critically endangered possums face many challenges – a decline in Bogong moths (a critical food source), climate change reducing the winter snowfall they rely on, and habitat loss from ski resort developments.
We must take urgent action to save them.
For as little as $9 per week, you can symbolically adopt a Mountain pygmy-possum and be a beacon of hope for these tiny, alpine creatures. Your generous regular gift can:
- Help to protect habitat for Australia’s threatened wildlife, like the Mountain pygmy-possum.
- Help demand climate action, and give a voice to our precious wildlife.
- Help safeguard our alpine biodiversity, so the Mountain pygmy-possum can thrive for generations to come.
Take action today by gifting a Mountain pygmy-possum adoption pack – either for yourself or for a loved one – and receive a possum plush toy (made from recycled plastic bottles), symbolic adoption certificate and a postcard from a possum.
Nature needs us, now. And together, we can make a difference.
With the holiday season fast approaching, order your adoption pack before December 12 to get it in time for Christmas!
Gifts above $2 are tax-deductible. If you choose to receive our adoption pack that includes a plush toy, the $15 merchandise cost is not tax-deductible.
