Our wolf project was such a blast! Now we are working on the topic of Australian Animals. Does anyone have a favourite? Or perhaps you have a Project idea you’d like to start together to help Australian wildlife? I’m so excited to see our group grow!

Hi Maria! Thank you for joining! Would you like to share your favorite animal or a project you are currently working on (or hope to start!)?

  My favorite animal is the giraffe and currently I’m brainstorming a project to protect biodiversity in my community.

    Hi Maria! Happy World Giraffe Day! (I believe it was a couple of days ago). I love that you want to protect biodiversity! It’s incredible how many species can live in one area, but so often these species are wiped out by lack of native plants or invasive species.
    What kind of animals do you have in your community?

So happy you’ve joined us Leeom! If you have any questions or ideas, just let me know! If you’d like, check out our current project on wolves! We will be meeting with the Wolf Conservation Center (based in NY, USA) virtually to learn about their work to save wolves and reintroduce wolves back to the wild!

Hi, I live in Austin, and there’s this place right outside of Austin that have these really amazing asian elephants, but there making them do tricks, and shows for people. All the trainers have a bullock in their hand, which they refer to as a “guide” for the elephants. I really want to help the elephants, but I’m not sure how. Any ideas???

Hi Emerson! Thank you for sharing. I know. It can be so hard seeing things that seem wrong to us and which are upsetting. It makes me feel a bit better though knowing there are people like you around who care and want to make change.
Does the place have a website? Sometimes there is an email address or a ‘Contact Us’ section on the website. I bet…[Read more]

A beautiful Siamese cat was continuously having babies in the neighborhood. We were able to loan two traps to the family and teach her how to set them and use them properly. Multiple…[Read more]
