Welcome to the 2024 World Wildlife Day Photo Competition!
March 3 is World Wildlife Day and we’ve celebrated our local wildlife and biodiversity with a photography competition.
World Wildlife Day is an international event hosted by the United Nations to celebrate the world’s plants, animals, and other living things, and acknowledge the contributions that wildlife makes to our lives and the planet. Australia is one of 17 mega-diverse countries, and a lot of wildlife is unique.
