At 89, Peter Pigott ends 50-year effort saving the parma wallaby, with last animals moved to safer habitats in Nov 2025.
At 89, Peter Pigott, a former toy store owner, has concluded his five-decade mission to save the parma wallaby, a species once thought extinct.
Since 1971, he maintained a sanctuary in NSW’s Blue Mountains, protecting around 200 wallabies rescued from New Zealand.
In November 2025, conservation teams relocated the last of the animals to larger predator-free areas, ending his personal stewardship.
Wildlife experts and officials credit him with preventing extinction, especially amid government inaction.
Though the species remains vulnerable, sightings have been confirmed in northern NSW following the Black Summer bushfires.
Pigott, humble about his impact, says individual action can make a difference.
