The mission
Quollity Conservation Hub exists to connect people with Australia's threatened wildlife and the organisations working to protect it.
Through an interactive, map-based platform, we provide information on threatened species, the challenges they face, and the conservation, research, and recovery efforts taking place across the country. By making this information accessible and locally relevant, we hope to help people better understand the wildlife living around them and the role they can play in its protection.
We believe that conservation starts with connection. By fostering awareness, encouraging collaboration, and inspiring small actions, we aim to create a ripple effect that benefits wildlife, ecosystems, and communities alike.
Australia's unique plants and animals don't recognise human-made boundaries. Protecting them requires a shared commitment to understanding, valuing, and caring for the natural world, together.

Why Quolls?
We might be a little biased, but we think quolls are pretty special.
These spotted marsupials are among Australia's most unique and least-known native animals. Small but feisty, quolls are important predators that help keep ecosystems healthy, yet they are threatened and often overlooked.
We chose quolls as our namesake because their story reflects that of many Australian species that need greater awareness, understanding, and support. By helping people discover quolls, we hope to spark curiosity about the many other remarkable plants and animals that share our landscapes and depend on our collective efforts for their survival.
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.''
