Our role in conservation is to create direct and positive connections between wildlife and people. We protect endangered species, increase understanding of wildlife and inspire community action.

Getting creative to protect the Platypus

Kristy, Education Officer

Students at Macquarie Anglican Grammar School have been busy getting creative as part of Project Platypus, a community conservation education program that raises awareness of the conservation needs of Platypus populations in the western region.

The students have been screen printing t-shirts with catchy slogans and imagery to encourage people to do more for the environment so that the Platypus can enjoy a long and healthy future in the Macquarie River.

It was great to see a lot of enthusiasm from the students who were eager to get their hands a little dirty all in the name of the Platypus.  Students will continue to work on their projects in the lead-up to the Project Platypus community expo later this year.
