Preserving and Protecting 
Wombats

Our History

Wombats SA began in 1960 as the Natural History Society of South Australia and now our name more accurately reflects what our core work is – preserving and protecting wombats!

We have been promoting and lobbying for the protection of the native flora and fauna of South Australia ever since we began. Our focus is on practical conservation and promoting the protection and preservation of our unique natural history by example.

We believe species conservation comes from habitat protection. To protect the species fully, the best way to do that is to preserve the ecosystem in which they live. Read more about us…
