Dear Steven,

This is a real fairytale about the endangered Fairy Possum and it desperately needs your help.

This fairy-like creature has lived in the tallest flowering trees on Earth, deep in the Mountain Ash forests of Central Highlands, for over 20 million years. But in just the last 100 years, its world has come literally crashing down.

Industrial logging has destroyed the little creature’s only home on Earth and now less than 1,500 Fairy Possums remain. If logging of our native forests continues at its current rate, the Fairy Possum will become extinct within your lifetime.

We must act now or this defenceless little creature will be lost forever.

View the fairytale now to help this real fairy live happily ever after: http://www.wilderness.org.au/e/fairypossum/

Together, we can make this fairytale come true.

Yours for wilderness,
