Help us protect nature’s tiny and mighty
We warmly invite you to register for this free event launching Zoos Victoria's End of Year Campaign: Be part of the change at Melbourne Zoo. Help us protect nature’s tiny and mighty.
Transformation is at the heart of Zoos Victoria’s mission - giving species on the brink of extinction a chance to thrive. Melbourne Zoo is now embarking on its own journey of metamorphosis, with a bold vision to become the leading home of invertebrate conservation.
Australia’s invertebrate biodiversity is at a tipping point, with species disappearing at an alarming rate. But with your help, there is hope.
Join us for an inspiring evening as our experts share insights into this exciting new era at Melbourne Zoo. Learn about the vital role invertebrates play in our ecosystems and the urgent, ground-breaking work being done to protect these tiny but mighty creatures.
Register to be part of this remarkable transformation and discover how you can help protect nature’s tiny and mighty.
