Can you spot a numbat? It's thought that there are less than 1,000 numbats alive today, but that's only an estimate. That's where Numbat Discovery comes in: it's a citizen science project designed to help us learn just how many numbats there are, so we can better protect them. Anyone can do it, from anywhere - so get spotting! https://wwfau.org/2Gapyo9 | WWF-Australia

Witness the special moment this Numbat rose with the sun to greet its new home for the first time. 🌞 It's World Numbat Day, and we have a lot to celebrate! Though this endangered species came close to extinction twice in the last century, it's making a comeback thanks to translocations to our feral predator-free sanctuaries and partnership properties. 📈 AWC protects around 40% of the entire Numbat population and the only Numbat populations that are not in decline. 🌱 Protected populations now
