Wild about wildlife

NRMA Motoring & Services is proud to have teamed up with the Taronga Conservation Society Australia to help our endangered Australian nocturnal animals.

NRMA supports Australia's Nightlife nocturnal exhibit at Taronga Zoo, which is helping educate motorists on how to avoid injuring animals on the road, what they can do if they come across injured wildlife, and how to safely transport them. As well as providing key contact details for wildlife centres.

We feel it's important to share this information, as in NSW approximately 2.5 million animals are killed by motor vehicles each year – that's almost 7000 animals a day!*

And thanks to the society, many animals injured on the roads that can no longer fend for themselves in the wild are now safe, and have an important role in Taronga's wildlife education programs.

For more information, check out the Wildlife Road Safety Tips brochure (PDF 500KB/3 pages), or visit Taronga Conservation Society Australia.

Easter Bilby Competition Winners

Did you know?

There were once two species of bilbies that lived in Australia, the Greater Bilby and the Lesser Bilby. Sadly, the Lesser Bilby is extinct due to feral animals. There are as few as 600 bilbies remaining in the wild. Taronga Conservation Society Australia is part of regional breeding program for Greater Bilbies, with several bilbies living at Taronga Zoo's Australian Nightlife exhibit.

NRMA and Taronga Conservation Society Australia are working together to help endangered Australian nocturnal animals, such as the bilby. Together, we hope to educate the community to watch out for Australian wildlife when travelling on the roads.
