Current estimates vary between 900 and 2000 numbats left in the wild. It is doubtful whether numbers differed very much in the ten years ago.
Estimates suggest there are between 900 and 1500 numbats left in the wild in Australia.
There are not many numbats in zoos, and the only zoo that has them is Perth Zoo in Western Australia. Two animals sanctuaries have numbats: Yookamurra in South Australia and Scotia in New South Wales, the latter allowing no public access to its sanctuary. The aim of keeping a few breeding numbats in captivity is so that new individuals can be released into the wild, rather than for display.
