Emus are not endangered. They are found in abundance throughout mainland Australia, from coastal areas to Alpine areas, to grasslands and semi-arid areas, and even the outskirts of urban settlements. There are even emu farms, where products from the emu are commercially farmed.

Emus used to be found on the Australian island state of Tasmania, but European settlement resulted in their extinction there. Two dwarf species of emu inhabited Kangaroo Island (off the South Australian coast) and King Island (in Bass Strait) but they also became extinct.

What can you do to help the emu?

The emu is in need of little help. It ranges across most of mainland Australia, and is not declining in population. The only place where it is currently endangered is along the New South Wales coastline, in particular due to the planned upgrade of the Pacific Highway. Coastal emus are already quite rare, with the bird tending to range inland. Like all of Australia's native animals, wild emus are protected. The wild population of emus in Australia is estimated at 725,000. There are also plenty of emus both in reserves, and being farmed commercially.

Emus, although the last species of their type, still live in most regions of Australia. They are large, tall flightless birds (up to 2m tall and 50 kg, or 110 lb.). They can run for long distances and at speeds up to 50 km/hr (31 mph). They are not currently listed as endangered. The emus on Tasmania, only slightly different, became extinct in the late 1780's.
