Platypuses are not designed to be used for anything. They do not have to have a purpose. They are harmless wild animals that are best left alone, to feed on tiny crustaceans on the bottom of freshwater ponds and rivers.

How is the platypus being protected?

There is no need for anything in particular to be done to protect the platypus. The platypus is not endangered. There was a time when it was under threat, being particularly prized for its fur years ago. Now, platypus numbers have returned to essentially the same levels they were prior to European settlement. The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern". Platypuses are now strictly protected by law. There are also laws prohibiting the use of fishing nets in freshwater creeks and rivers. The use of these nets used to be a major contributor to platypus deaths.
