Why Your school should wear it wild
In the land of the koala, the quoll and the platypus, our mammals are the most distinctive in the world. 86% can’t be found anywhere else. Sadly, Australia has the highest mammal extinction rate in the world, and these iconic species are at risk of disappearing forever. Your school can help shine a spotlight on nature loss by Wearing it Wild and raising funds to help protect and restore nature.
YOUR SCHOOLS IMPACT

Could provide two months of supplemental feeding for an eastern quoll.

Could create safe wildlife habitat corridors by planting trees in key locations so koalas can move safely between forest areas.
