Why teach about Native Australian Animals?

Apart from the fact young people (and adults) generally love our furry, feathered, finned and scaled friends?

Climate change is impacting every living thing and system in our environment, including our unique fauna and their habitats.

By teaching about how Australian native animals have adapted to their environments, the threats they face and how we're all connected, we can inspire young people to care for our animal friends so they're here for generations to come.
