How can you help echidnas going extinct?

How many echidnas will be left in 5 years time?
Given that echidnas have a conservation status of "least concern" throughout Australia, there are very likely to be as many echidnas in 5 years as there are now. It is unknown how many echidnas there are, but being a very adaptable animal that can survive wherever there are ants, it is expected the echidna has a very secure future.

Who are echidnas' biggest danger?
The biggest threat to echidnas occurs when they are young. Snakes will sometimes enter their burrow and eat the baby echidna.

Echidnas are highly adaptable and less threatened by habitat loss than other native animals. Basically, echidnas can survive wherever there are ants.
Do humans effect chameleons habitat?
Echidnas are one of Australia's native animals which have been least affected by human habitation. As echidnas feed on termites and ants, there is always a ready supply of these insects. However, this does not mean there is no effect on the echidna's habitat. Anywhere there is urban development is a threat to echidnas, whether this impact is by cars hitting the animals; echidnas being killed by domestic dogs; or building development such as bulldozers and other digging equipment. One of the major effects on echidnas is caused by flooding, often a result of humans changing natural watercourses by their activities. Echidnas can swim, but they cannot survive floodwaters.
