World Numbat Day is observed every year on the first Saturday of November. World Numbat Day is a special day to honour Western Australia’s unique mammal emblem and an awareness day to encourage the action to conserve the Numbat species. The numbat is a small marsupial which was found across southern Australia. Now, it is narrowed to a few isolated pockets in southwestern Australia as well as two small reintroduced populations in New South Wales and South Australia. With an expected wild population of less than 1000, the species faces the threat of extinction. Hence, Numbat Day is a perfect day to raise awareness about the conservation of Numbat Species.
