What We Do

RDU strives to protect Australia's reptilian population from endangerment or extinction through research-based initiatives. These initiatives focus on understanding the threats facing Australian reptiles, their habitats and populations so that informed decisions can be made on conservation efforts. Though habitat preservation is at the heart of RDU's mission statement, its reach extends beyond just safeguarding reptilian lives through education programs that raise awareness around responsible pet ownership as well as current legislation surrounding reptile welfare. By creating public programming targeted at school-aged audiences alongside informative sessions held with landowners and industry partners alike, RDU works diligently to build a strong ecosystem of knowledge surrounding reptile safety in order to secure these animals' futures. Our Team: The team at RDU are passionate professionals providing leadership in the field of wildlife research, conservation and advocacy in Australia's community sector. With backgrounds in zoology/ecology, animal biology/conservation science/environmental science and more - the skill set stemming from each member is incredibly diverse yet equally impressive! Each individual brings something different to the table but all come together under one unified purpose: To conserve Australia's reptilians. Conclusion: At Raptiles Down Under we recognize not only our responsibility towards conserving reptiles with immediate impact but also our duty of care towards establishing a long-term commitment towards environmental protection - leading the way towards a better future!
