Protecting the Quokkas

Our part in helping the quokkas is simple!
Anyone outside of Australia can't physically do much for the quokkas.
However, if you're planning on seeing quokkas during your next vacation, here are some tips!
- Don't chase after them! A quokka will naturally come to you if it wants to greet you!
- Don't pick up a quokka! Instead, crouch down next to them.
- Similarly, don't pet a quokka! It's actually illegal in Australia.
So while it's fun to spend time with the quokkas, it's also important to respect their space!
