It's never too early to stand up for what you believe in. Sometimes a message from children with their fresh and lively way of seeing the world can cut through and appeal to the heart. There are many wild homes out there in the bush, the creeks, the beaches, and deserts that desperately need protecting. QCC volunteers have recently run a children's art and story competition to help tell the Government how important it is to save wild homes. Check out all the amazing entries below. 

All of these entries were compiled and delivered directly to the QLD Environment Minister, Meaghan Scanlon, highlighting why it is so important for the Qld Government to do more to protect wild homes. You can check out all the artwork compiled in a book which was delivered to the Environment Minister here.   

Our national parks are home to more wild plants and animals than any other state or territory in Australia, but we also have the smallest area of protected land. With so much of Queensland's wildlife now under threat, we urgently need to step up and protect their homes as First Nations’ people have for tens of thousands of years. Please find out more about our National Parks for Life campaign here.
