How you can help the platypus,
from Platypus
World: 
• Start by making
other people aware of the platypus, and their likely habitats. It is
important to realise that litter in the streets will end up in creeks
and streams via storm water drains.
• Platypus need logs, stumps and snags in their habitats. They
will live in a man-made environment if it is linked to a natural water
body by a channel.
• Replant native vegetation growing along water courses. Loss of
vegetation causes soil to erode the banks of rivers and creeks. Stable
banks are essential for secure burrows.
