WILD Conservation, Wild Snake Catchers (Sydney/NSW)

“In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we have been taught.”

– Baba Dioum, Conservationist, Senegal, Africa

“When we lose biodiversity, we reduce our ability to fight climate change, grow sustainable and healthy crops, have access to clean and abundant water, prevent pandemics, and plan for a future for our children and grandchildren. Humans need biodiversity. And because the decline in biodiversity is caused by humans, biodiversity now needs us to transform our behaviour.” – The Wild Foundation

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal
#15 | Life on Land

Critterpedia is dedicated to advancing SDG #15 through our comprehensive roadmap. Our platform empowers individuals with the necessary tools to explore the great outdoors and get the most out of their time in nature, reigniting their profound fascination with the wonders of the natural world. Extensive studies consistently demonstrate that the deeper someone immerses themselves in nature, the more likely they are to make pro-environment choices. By empowering the broader community, we enable them to make better collective decisions that have a profound and lasting impact on the world we all share.

Our mission is to cultivate a new generation of environmental changemakers, all passionately working towards the common goal of restoring humankind’s invaluable relationship with nature. By providing the means to unite, humanity becomes the ultimate guardian of our planet’s precious ecosystems, its rich biodiversity, and the countless species that call it home. Together, we can forge a sustainable future for ourselves and for future generations, ensuring the preservation of our natural environment.

SDG 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

Critterpedia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout the world and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters, and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures; and to elders past, present and emerging.
