Help Us Save Woogaroo Forest!

Located just 25km SW of Brisbane’s CBD on the doorstep of Springfield, Woogaroo Forest (420ha) is home to a rich variety of wildlife: over 130 bird species, Koalas, Platypus, Gliders, Echidnas, Frilled-neck Lizards and many other native species. 


Lamentably, this remnant forest is under threat of development. It needs your fighting support.

Woogaroo Forest needs protection

Australia has one of the highest rates of mammal extinction in the world and ranks second in biodiversity loss. Across the country, deforestation is happening at an alarming rate—every few minutes, an area the size of the MCG is cleared. It’s time to take a stand!

  • Koala, Phascolarctos,cinereus, Endangered
  • Grey-headed Flying Fox, Pteropdidae pteropus, Vulnerable
