Cycling 3,000km to help the injured Australian wildlife in the recent bushfires

Bay of Plenty

It’s been estimated that around 1.25 billion animals have been killed across Australia to date.

This includes thousands of koalas and other iconic species such as kangaroos, wallabies, kookaburras, cockatoos and honeyeaters burnt alive, and many thousands more injured and homeless.

WHAT IS WWF DOING?

With the money raised, our Australia teams along with local organisations will carry out work including:

Providing emergency funds to care for injured wildlife

After the fires clear, helping restore homes for koalas and other wildlife, planting the first 10,000 trees urgently needed in koala habitats

Supporting the response, recovery and restoration teams in any other way we can

Working with governments on legislation to better protect people and nature

Simon Thompson's involvement (page creator)

I am taking on a personal challenge to mountain bike 3000km from Cape Reinga to Bluff in New Zealand as part of Tour Aotearoa to help raise awareness for the injured Australian wildlife impacted by the recent bush fires.
