Go to

This suite of lessons is designed to raise student awareness of the conservation rules and regulations of wildlife, biodiversity and land use in Victoria. In these stand-alone lessons, students will build their understanding of how individual behaviours can impact local communities and environments. 

These lessons have been developed in partnership with the Conservation Regulator, a government agency responsible for regulation of fire prevention, use of public land, wildlife and biodiversity. Through a combination of enforcement and education activities the Conservation Regulator aims to maintain the health and heritage of these landscapes for future generations to enjoy.
