National Threatened Species Family Day and Open Photographic Exhibition 2026
National Threatened Species Day is officially on 7 September, an opportunity to shine a light on Australia’s threatened native plants and animals and recognise the important conservation work being undertaken by scientists, land managers, artists and communities to protect them and their habitats.
The photographic call-out for the National Threatened Species Open Photographic Exhibition is now on show, with an incredible response from photographers across Australia. We have had 93 entrants and 154 photographs!
Presented by Gungahlin Arts, Wildbark and Ginninderry, the exhibition brings together photographic works that explore Australia’s threatened species, native flora and fauna, the ecosystems that support them, and the conservation efforts helping to protect them.
The exhibition will run at Wildbark until the 18 December 2026, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the full collection and discover the diverse ways photographers have responded to the theme.
Your favourite photograph deserves a vote! Visit the National Threatened Species exhibition at WILDBARK in person or browse the online gallery, pick your favourite and cast your People’s Choice vote.

Building on the success of previous exhibitions, Threatened Species 2026 continues to connect people with place, creativity and the natural world that surrounds us, inviting us to pay closer attention to what we risk losing, and what we can choose to protect. We extend our sincere thanks to Wildbark and Dr Jason Cummings; Jessica Stewart (Head of Sustainability & Community Development) and Ginninderry. We appreciate the Link at Strathnairn, and all partners and supporters who help make this exhibition possible. Your contribution ensures this important work continues to grow and reach new audiences each year.
