This , we're sharing some of the amazing Australian animals that we care for. Unfortunately, all of these species share one thing in common (other than the fact they're beautiful, incredible & unique 🫶); their wild populations are threatened by habitat loss, human impact, climate change, invasive species and even human prosecution - in the case of the Dingo. We are focused on our goal of spreading awareness and educating our community about the ecological importance of these vulnerable and endangered species as well as their plight and threats to their individual welfare. We can all do our part to help, whether it's by using recycled paper products to help reduce habitat clearing, advocating against the use of rodent poisons that cause secondary poisoning of our predators (eg. Barking Owls like Connor!) or even just starting a conversation with your friends, family, work or school 💚🧡

As we focus on contributing to tangible outcomes for our Indigenous communities this , we are excited to shine a light on the incredible work of , and Dot Com Mob.

Since 2008, CAYLUS (Central Australian Youth Link Up Service) and Dot Com Mob have been giving remote communities in Central Australia access to the internet, by setting up free Wi-Fi, decking out accessible computer/technology rooms and delivering training and workshops to grow digital literacy. Since 2019 we have been contributing to this project via B1G1: Business for Good, in order to support such important educational initiatives in even the most remote areas of Australia.
