Australian Wildlife Week, established by the Society in 2019, is celebrated nationally during the first week of October each year to encourage a positive relationship between humanity and nature. Australian Wildlife Week will be celebrated this year from Tuesday, 1 October, to Sunday, 6 October 2024.
We are hosting an Online Webinar and Art Exhibition to celebrate Australian Wildlife Week and inspire community members to implement conservation actions to protect native flora and fauna and conserve natural habitats for future generations.
Online Webinar
Online webinar: Wednesday, 2 October 2024, 10:30 am - 12 noon (AEST).
The webinar will showcase wildlife research and conservation projects across Australia.
We will be joined by keynote speaker, Andrew Cox (CEO, Invasive Species Council), and several of the Society’s 2024 University Research Grant and Scholarship winners, who will summarise their research and the importance of protecting Australian wildlife.
Art Exhibition
The Museum of the Riverina will host the Society’s Art Exhibition, Australian Wildlife: A Journey Through Time, at the Museum of the Riverina - Historic Council Chambers Site in Wagga Wagga throughout October 2024.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness of the importance of conserving Australia’s native wildlife. It takes the viewer on a journey through time, featuring some of the Society’s critical projects from its inception in 1909 to today.
We encourage community members to visit the exhibition and take action to preserve Australia’s precious wildlife and natural ecosystems.
