Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland

The Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland is a Queensland based conservation organisation. The Society was originally founded in 1962 by Judith Wright, Brian Clouston, David Fleay and Kathleen McArthur.

The organisation is funded from the support of its members, volunteers, subscribers and donors.

"Wildlife Australia" is the title of a quarterly magazine, first published in 1963, which is produced by the society to raise public awareness on conservation issues. To promote the organisation there is often a display at the Brisbane Ekka.
