Wild Homes Challenge - The Outcome

This World Habitat Day we celebrated by running our Wild Homes Challenge with corporate teams across the country who were pitting their skills against one another to build homes for wildlife in their neighbourhood.

We were delighted to have participants join us in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane to build bee hotels and shelters for birds and gliders – many of which were at threat after the bushfires, with homes lost and nowhere safe to start new families. World Habitat Day asks us to reflect on the condition of our towns and cities as well as the basic right of all to adequate shelter – it’s also a reminder that we have the power and responsibility to shape the future of these spaces.

 

The National Winner is….

We’re delighted to announce that Kuehne+Nagel (Brisbane Team) are the National Challenge Winners!
