NTSD: Thanks for Visiting!

Thanks to all of you who visited us on Sunday 6th September for National Threatened Species Day in Fremantle. The event was a huge success, thanks to the lovely participation of the other conservation groups. We managed to get the word out about the threatened species in WA, and the numbat in particular. A special word of thanks to artist Wendy Binks, who kindly donated the colourful Numbat Picture Board. Many happy faces enthusiastically posed as a numbat in front of our stall, before visiting us to find out more about the numbat's plight. We will be announcing the winner of our photo competition shortly!

Most of the art works have been sold, there are a few that are still available, so if you feel you missed out on a piece you had your eye on, please contact us.

The coolest new accessory- Numbat radio collars

Wild or captive born Numbats are fitted with radio collars each year by the Department of Parks and Wildlife to track their movements, gain important information on their dispersal in their habitat and their survival.

In November and December 2014, DEC will be fitting a number of Numbats with radio-collars. The Numbats will either by wild caught or bred at Perth Zoo for release.

We are giving you the opportunity to be a part of this important work by contributing to the cost of the radio-collars. Each collar costs $250 and for your contribution you will receive a certificate with:

• a photo of the collared Numbat

• its name

• date of birth (if known)

• sex

• weight

• location
