Take Action for Nature: Join Our World Environment Day Challenge 2025

This World Environment Day, we’re inviting you to step outside, reconnect with nature, and take simple, meaningful action for the planet – starting right where you are.

At Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA), we believe that when people connect with nature, they’re more likely to protect it. That’s why we’ve created a special World Environment Day Challenge designed to help everyday Australians make a real difference – from their backyard, balcony, or local green space.

Whether you’re a seasoned eco-warrior or just starting your sustainability journey, this is your chance to take part in a national movement that’s all about positive action, community, and hope.

What’s the Challenge?

The Nature At Home: 5 Simple Ways To Help Wildlife Thrive is a simple 5-day invitation to do something good for the environment. You can start on World Environment Day (June 5th) or anytime that week.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the daily themes:

• • Create a home for wildlife (think bee hotels and birdbaths)

• Plant something native or pollinator-friendly

• Lend your hands to a local volunteering event

• Share your love of nature with your community

Each action is designed to be accessible, rewarding, and – most importantly – impactful.

Download Your Free Nature-at-Home Guide

To help you along the way, we’ve created a free downloadable guide packed with practical tips to support biodiversity and live more sustainably. Inside, you’ll find:

• How-to instructions for building a bee hotel or birdbath
• Native plant suggestions for your region
• Composting basics
• Tips on creating a pollinator-friendly garden

It’s perfect for individuals, families, classrooms or community groups who want to turn small patches of space into safe havens for wildlife.

Share Your Actions & Inspire Others

Part of the challenge is about sharing what you’re doing – because your story might be the spark that inspires someone else. Post a photo of your action on social media and tag #TakeActionForNature or #NaturesBestFriend so we can see (and share!) the good work you’re doing.

Let’s Make This Our Wildest World Environment Day Yet

Nature needs us – and we need nature. Join thousands of others across Australia in stepping up for the environment this June. One action might feel small, but together, they add up to something powerful.
