State: Tasmania

The Orange-Bellied Parrot (OBP) is the most endangered bird in Australia – there are less than 70 OBPs left in the wild. This species is very vulnerable to extinction from a number of threats including habitat modification, disease, predators and competitors, climate change, and loss of genetic diversity.

Game-changing new roadkill prevention technology is being trialled, particularly to prevent the deaths of Tasmanian Devils.
