Celebrating Western Australia’s unique biodiversity

Many of WA’s amazing plants and animals are found nowhere else on the planet. Some are under threat of extinction - can you help to save our species?

Visit the Western Australian Museum – Perth during the October school holidays and celebrate our state’s unique biodiversity. Explore our galleries with the Species Spotto trail to find out about WA’s amazing species. Visit the Discovery Centre to see live animals, play a giant-sized board game, make a pledge to help WA’s biodiversity for a chance to win a daily prize, or borrow a Biodiversity Backpack to explore the new native wetlands outside the Museum. You might even bump into a larger-than life Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo!
