Our mission
Quolls Australia is a small initiative with a personal mission: to provide a user-friendly, map-based platform that provides detailed information about the location of threatened species, their level of vulnerability and the impacts they face from natural disasters, local contact information and conservation and research initiatives across the country.
By equipping individuals and communities with accessible resources and insights, we aim to engage people in the conservation of Australia's rich ecosystems, fostering an environment where communication and participation thrive.
We would like to educate people to recognise these animals and their environments and inspire small actions that will create a ripple effect that will help the species and the environment as a whole.
Australia’s plants and wildlife are unlike any other in the world, and they don't adhere to human-made borders. This is why it is important to look beyond these borders and work together and support individuals and communities to understand and contribute to combating the escalating impacts of climate change to protect our beautiful country.

Why the name Quolls Australia?
Quolls are very cute (in our opintion) and one of Australia's unique and least-known marsupials who are small but feisty little predators who play an important role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
We hope to help bring attention to these important species, together with the many other species that require the community's awareness and support.
Two out of the four species of Quoll are listed as Endangered, and their conservation is important.
Spotted-tail Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus) - Near Threatened
Western Quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii) - Near Threatened
Eastern Quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) - Endangered
Northern Quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) - Endangered

On the lookout
''Through the smoke we spotted this female koala on lookout. The reason for her heartbreak is sad, but all too real. It turns out she'd lost her joey in the fires and was trying to find him.''
