Nestled in the forests and woodlands of the Great Eastern Ranges live all ten of Australia’s glider species. From the southern greater glider, one of the world’s largest gliding mammals, to the diminutive feathertail which weighs in at a mere 10 grams.

All species of glider are dependent on hollow-bearing trees for nesting, with many using several different dens within their home range. Unlike other members of the possum family, gliders have a membrane stretching from their wrist to ankle that enables them to glide between trees in search of food, shelter and mates.

Sadly, these special animals are at risk.

Habitat loss and fragmentation, weeds, feral animals, and the impacts of climate change threaten the future of our gliding possums. Once common across eastern Australia, populations of the three species of greater glider for example have plummeted by a staggering 80% in just 20 years.

But we are doing something about it and you can too.

Through our Glideways program, we have been rolling out a suite of complementary projects across the GER corridor to curb the loss of our threatened gliders while ensuring that common ones remain common.

And it is not just gliders that benefit, but also the many other animals that share their forest homes such as glossy black-cockatoos, spotted-tailed quolls and koalas.

By making a donation today you will be helping to secure the future of our gliders and other forest-dependent animals. Together we can make a difference.
