Together, we can make a difference. Our projects at FAME focus on partnerships with community organisations, government agencies and private stakeholders that we view as having a high chance of success, and a tangible impact on conservation.Australia’s most endangered species are in cri...

Only found in Far North Queensland, the Armoured Mistfrog (Litoria lorica) is a nocturnal, medium-sized species of rainforest tree frog adapted to living around cascades and waterfalls. Males measure around 33mm and females 37mm. Despite their ability to camouflage into their rocky habi...

The Red Handfish (Thymichthys politus) is tiny – at an average of 6cm, about the size of a man’s thumb. It walks rather than swims and, alarmingly, just 100 of these beautiful fish now survive in a small area of ocean off Tasmania. Being a species of marine anglerfish which scientists k...

Weighing less than a kilogram and featuring a pointed muzzle and sticky tongue, Numbats are capable of vacuuming up 20,000 termites a day. Once widespread across southern Australia, the species remains in several small colonies in Western Australia.

Plant species across Australia are under increasing pressure, and it is vital that we limit losses to save wider ecosystems upon which other plants, animals and humans depend.

The Western Quoll and Red-Tailed Phascogale are carnivorous marsupials native to South Australia and, as predators, have important roles to play in the health of the ecosystem. Sadly, both species were wiped out by a combination of invasive predators and extensive land clearing.

The Tasmanian Devil is the world's largest surviving marsupial carnivore, with a unique jaw and tooth structure allowing them to consume bones and fur, meaning they play a critical role in the ecosystem as both top-order predators and scavengers.
