Explore how humans and animals share our planet, from Eastern Australia to Sumatra and the Congo Basin. Students investigate local habitat loss for species and discover how Aboriginal Knowlege, cultural burning and seasonal calendars guide sustainable land management. They will compare global threats to exotic animals and apply Indigenous and sustainable practices to design their own “Hero Plan.” The excursion inspires critical thinking, collaboration and global citizenship, showing students they can actively protect wildlife and the environment.
