The Australian Mammal Society (AMS) is an interdisciplinary society of biologists whose common interest is in the biology and conservation of Australian mammals. Research by members of the Society spans a wide variety of biological disciplines including behavioural and community ecology, population genetics, management and conservation. The goal of the Society is to contribute to the greater understanding of the Australasian mammalian fauna.

The Marsupial Society of Australia Inc. is a small organisation, based in Adelaide, South Australia, dedicated to providing information and education regarding keeping and breeding our native Fauna in captivity. Although the Society does not rescue individual animals, it provides support and guidance to those who do. The Society was formed in 1981, and we have been publishing a monthly Journal / Newsletter ever since. This means that we have a vast information resource that can now be more readily accessible to the world via the internet.

What is limnology? Limnology is the study of inland waters. This includes rivers, creeks, billabongs, ponds, pools, swamps, lakes, salt-lakes and other wetlands. What is the ASL? The Australian Society For Limnology (ASL) is an scientific society whose focus is the study and management of inland waters. The ASL was established in 1961, and has a current membership of over 650 scientists, managers, engineers, teachers and tertiary level students from all states and territories. Members have a strong professional interest in inland aquatic issues, in the maintenance of biodiversity, the maintenance and/or restoration of water quality, and the wise use of aquatic resources. The Society also has a strong interest in fostering the scientific and intellectual development of tertiary students.

History of the ASZK Eight keepers from Adelaide Zoo first formed the Australasian Society of Zoo Keeping (ASZK) in 1976. It was originally called the Australasian Society of Animal Management, which was changed to the Australasian Society of Zoo Keepers in 1980, and finally renamed the Australasian Society of Zoo Keeping in 1991. The ASZK is primarily a professional organisation which seeks to promote the exchange of information on all aspects of wild animal husbandry, and in so doing add to the conservation of rare and endangered species. The Society achieves these objectives through the production of journals, newsletters and through a series of workshops and conferences which are held throughout the Australasian region. Since its inception, the ASZK has adopted the Thylacine (or Tasmanian Tiger) as its logo. The Thylacine is one of the most fabled animals in the world, yet despite its fame today it was once persecuted by European settlers. After only a century of European settlement the Thylacine was pushed to the brink of extinction, with the last known Thylacine dying in the now defunct Beaumaris (Hobart) Zoo on 7th September, 1936. It is a sobering thought that had the Thylacine been managed by professional Zoo Keepers, it may not have become designated to the long list of Australian species which have become extinct since the colonisation of Australia by Europeans. One of the goals of the ASZK is the continued development of the professionalism of Zoo Keeping in the Australasian region and apply the lessons learned from the loss of the Thylacine is to ensure that the rich natural heritage of our island continent is no longer jeopardised. Since 1976, the ASZK has produced a journal called "thylacinus", which provides a vehicle for keepers to disseminate the latest in captive husbandry techniques and advances In addition, the ASZK occasionally produces an electronic newsletter called "Cybercinus" which is e-mailed to members that have registered their e-mail address with us. The ASZK currently holds an annual conference which is rotated around the country. It focuses on submitted papers as well as workshops aimed at giving keepers skills. The ASZK has a number of branches around the country many of which focus on fundraising for keeper development and conservation. Additionally ASZK hold training workshops on specialist topics to assist in keeper development and occasionally holds events to fundraise for various conservation activities which has included the Bilby and the Asian Rhinos.

The primary aim of the Biology Society of South Australia is to develop and maintain contact between people with an interest in field biology and the conservation and management of natural resources in South Australia. Membership includes professional biologists (university staff, public servants, consultants, teachers), past graduates, postgraduates and undergraduate students, as well as interested members of the general public.

There are almost as many types of people who are into birds as there are birds themselves. There are scientists who study them, observers who watch them, twitchers who chase after them, conservationists who want to protect them and members of the general public who just like having birds in their lives. What these diverse groups have in common is Birds Australia. Since 1901, Birds Australia (formerly the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union) has been bringing together people who care about birds. More than just a research organisation, BA is a passionate advocate for the protection of our birds and the habitats on which they depend. As Australia’s birds face unprecedented challenges to their survival- habitat destruction, feral predators, climate change- Birds Australia is in there, working with the broader Australian community to speak out on behalf of our amazing birdlife.

The club strongly promotes proper hygienic keeping and scientific feeding & breeding of birds in the best and most natural conditions as possible. Since its early days of producing a simple photocopied flyer called the "Finch News" the members of the club now enjoy a fully printed monthly magazine. The club holds regular general meetings held the first Friday of each month and runs various birds sales, auction, shows, workshops and BBQ's out through the year all in the spirit of keeping our members and the community well informed of the best practices of caring for finches. Conservation has been another passionate step the club has taken with it supporting various groups like "Save the Gouldian Fund" and the "Black Throat Recovery Program". The club now holds a membership well over 800 members which include local, interstate and international members.
