Wombats SA began in 1960 as the Natural History Society of South Australia and now our name more accurately reflects what our core work is – wombats! We have been promoting and lobbying for the protection of the native flora and fauna of South Australia ever since we began, no matter by what name. Our focus is on practical conservation and promoting the protection and preservation of our unique natural history by example.  Read more about us…

We manage and maintain the Moorunde Wildlife Reserve, the first established and currently largest sanctuary for Southern Hairy-nosed Wombats in the Murraylands of South Australia as well as four other reserves. Moorunde is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a reserve this year: 2018. Members will be receiving notifications of the different special events being scheduled throughout this year. Help us protect and preserve these special and unique animals who are the faunal emblem of South Australia!

In recent years, Southern Hairy-nosed Wombats in the Murraylands were experiencing some health problems due to over grazing of their natural food source – native grasses. Wombats SA, together with other groups and researchers, is working towards a long-term and region-wide solution to the over grazing situation.
