Welcome to Wildlife SOS
Coastal Emu Foot - Wildlife Save Our Species Inc, Clarence Valley  

The focus of Wildlife Save Our Species (SOS), based in the Clarence Valley in Northern NSW, is on the key issues of habitat loss, habitat modification, loss of individual animals and loss of wildlife populations.

As a volunteer independent wildlife protection organisation, our  priority is to native wildlife that is recognised as under threat and/or is of local significance within the Clarence Valley. This includes working to protect the habitat and unique eco-systems that are home to these species, since this is critical for their future survival.

We have a main focus on community education in order to better assist the community in living side by side with our native animals.

The Coastal Emu: a local icon
The Coastal Emu (pictured to the right and also above) is one of the important species that Wildlife SOS focuses on. The numbers of remaining Coastal Emus are very low - there is one isolated group found further north, but the remainder are found only here in the Clarence Valley.

Evidence suggests that the Coastal Emu may be a distinct species from the inland emu due to geographical isolation (they are isolated from their relatives by several hundred kilometres, and limited by the escarpments dividing the range).

Coastal Emus were formerly common, but now face the possibility of extinction, which is why Wildlife SOS places great emphasis on protecting this species.
