Wildlife Queensland - About Us. Wildlife needs your help. Wildlife Queensland is keen to ensure that through our actions, we can encourage everyone to gain an appreciation of wildlife and its habitat, leading to a greater understanding of the challenges and pressures it increasingly faces. We focus on… Protecting Wildlife…. Wildlife Queensland is 'Your Voice for your Wildlife'’. We speak out against those who are intent on destroying wildlife habitat: by monitoring wildlife populations we draw attention to their plight and by consulting with government departments we make our views known at every level.

We successfully helped to stop the recreational hunting of duck and quail in Queensland and we are vocal in opposing the introduction of gill netting and the proposal for targeted killing of rays and sharks. Influencing Choices…. Crucial changes are needed to halt the destructive nature of many types of reckless and relentless development. Engaging Communities….. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
