Huge success for Taronga at the Banksia Foundation’s #NSWSustainabilityAwards last Friday 🎉 We are excited to share that Taronga was named winner of both the Net Zero Climate Action and Sustainable Tourism awards We’d like to extend a warm thank you to the Banksia Foundation for the acknowledgement of our continued work and congratulations to all our esteemed fellow finalists 👏 At Taronga, we know firsthand the impact that humans can have on our wildlife and environment. Each year, our wildlife hospitals treat over 1,500 native wildlife cases, from Marine Turtles to Platypuses, many of whom have been impacted by plastics or through human action. While some animals can be rehabilitated and released back into the wild, not all the animals are so lucky. Our team is driven by our vision to secure a shared future for wildlife and people. In addition to our conservation work, we also lead two of the busiest tourism experiences in NSW. Seeing firsthand how people can impact our wildlife, Taronga takes a proactive approach to reducing operational waste and plastic use across both Zoo sites. We believe we all have a role to play to actively protect our environment and reduce waste 🌱 At Taronga, we’re always on the lookout for the next bright idea to protect our environment. If you have an idea for how you can help our planet and its wildlife, applications for Taronga’s 2025 HATCH Accelerator Program are open – apply before Monday 27 January 2025 at https://lnkd.in/gtd8VP73 #ForTheWild In the meantime, you can learn more about our sustainability here: https://lnkd.in/gAXk52tJ Andrew Elphinstone, Jon Shaw, Louise Repcik, Bruno Da Silva, Nick Boyle, Laura Minns, Jessica Johnstone, Suzy Scheiblin
