When you buy an animal encounter, you help support our conservation programs.
For every Koala Encounter, a tree is contributed through our Branching Out for Koalas program which has allocated over 3,000 gum trees for planting so far.
$10 from every Tiger Encounter is donated to support the Big Cat Alliance tiger conservation program.
Animal Sponsorship is a great way to support our animals and conservation efforts and makes a great gift for animal lovers, or that loved one who has it all.
Cassowaries (Casuarius sp.) are native to the tropical forests of Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and northeastern Australia.
Recent studies (Pangau-Adam et al., 2015) have found that cassowaries are intolerant of heavy forest disturbance and that forest degradation needs to be addressed in order to secure their populations.
In 100 years, 97% of all Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae) have been lost. They are victims of illegal hunting and human-wildlife conflict, but habitat degradation is the main threat to their survival.
From 1990 to 2010, Sumatra lost about 40% of its forests, mainly due to the expansion of oil palm plantations, which threatens the survival of this species with an estimate of under 400 individuals remaining in the wild.
Tree kangaroos (Dendrolagus sp.) live in lowland and mountainous rainforests in West Papua, Papua New Guinea, and the far north of Queensland, Australia.
Habitat loss for logging, timber production, or conversion to coffee, rice, or oil palm plantations have become the major threats to their survival.
