EVENT OVERVIEW:  In celebration of Biodiversity Month, Taronga Western Plains Zoo in partnership with the Department of Education and Communities Dart Connections Team, will be conducting a Video Conference Series with a focus on Australian animals. We will discuss their amazing adaptations, lifecycles, role in the environment, habitats, their current threats and information on what your students can do to take action For the Wild! The series will provide a unique opportunity for us to focus on the critically endangered Tasmanian Devil and learn about its biology and ecology and the disease that is currently contributing to its decline. The second video conference will occur Behind the Scenes at the Tasmanian Devil breeding facility. The presentation will occur from one of our key Tasmanian Devil keepers and will include access to very special footage of these fascinating animals!
