This September, The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) is asking people like you to head down to their local creek or river, find a quiet place on the bank, try to spot a platypus and record what you see.

By taking part in the platy-project, you’ll help researchers understand more about this elusive animal and how we can better protect it.

Visit the ACF website to sign up and take part.
