Welcome to the Wombat Awareness Organisation (WAO)! We are a charity established to help save the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) from extinction.
The wombat is an Aussie icon but few people are aware of the peril these gorgeous little animals face: drought, floods, climate change, disease, vehicular incidents and culling – both legal and illegal. It’s not rocket science to see these animals are in trouble but thanks to the work of WAO volunteers, there is hope!
