Endangered Aussie sea lions need your urgent help today.

There are only estimated 6,500 adults left – we are facing an urgent extinction crisis.

We instigated a plan that has saved the lives of over 2,000 endangered Australian sea lions in the past decade.

Today, we’re relying on your generosity to save even more. Your support today will make sure these iconic Australian animals don’t become a distant memory tomorrow.

Will you chip in to expand our rescue plan to WA?

The situation at a glance...

2000

The estimated number of endangered Australian sea lions we've saved in the past decade. Before intervention, the South Australian fishery used to catch over 250 sea lions a year in their deadly nets. That was one dead sea lion every other day.

98%

The reduction in Australian sea lion deaths in the gillnets after we helped a SA fishery implement a strategy 10 years ago.

6,500

The estimated number of adult Australian sea lions left. Their numbers have fallen by over 60% in just four decades, and Australian sea lions are now endangered.

Our Solution

Today, we need your help again to expand our proven strategy to Western Australia. There, our precious sea lions continue to be killed at a rate which threatens their very existence.

In WA the Australian sea lion colonies are smaller and at even more risk from fishing deaths. This is only worsened by the fact that appropriate regulation and monitoring in Western Australia is dangerously lacking.

The death of just a single female can negatively impact a colony’s survival chances. We don’t have time to wait. Western Australia’s sea lions need our urgent help.

Every dollar you donate today will help expand our successful rescue plan to Western Australia.

Please fund our rescue plan to save even more Australian sea lions.
