Year 3-6

Discover more about our native wildlife

Many species of our unique native animals are in a struggle for survival and may be on the brink of extinction. This excursion explores, through a habitat game, how habitats sustain those species and what needs to be done to counter introduced predators. We examine how science is monitoring our native animals to see if we can bring them ‘back from the brink’. Students also get to meet some of our fantastic fauna in an animal encounter.
