The Threatened Species Bake Off is back.

Around Australia, people will be baking to celebrate native species and raise awareness ahead of Threatened Species Day on Tuesday 7 September.

This year the theme is ecosystem engineers - species that significantly influence habitats, increasing complexity, diversity and the overall health of ecosystems.

The Long-footed potoroo is one example of an ecosystem engineer in north east Victoria. When digging for food, they turn over large amounts of soil to keep our land healthy.

Make sure to share your baked goods with the hashtag #TSBakeOff on the Threatened Species Commissioner Facebook page before 5pm, Wednesday 8 September.
