Publisher of engaging, conservation-focused educational activity books and early readers for children, adults, parents, teachers, and educators, with a focus on learning about endangered and vulnerable Australian wildlife. 

DID YOU KNOW THAT around 80% of Australia’s species are endemic or native, and many of them are thought likely to become extinct within our lifetimes?  YES – many within a decade or two!  Looking at data on species that are already extinct, extinct in the wild, or locally extinct, we are losing far too many of our fabulously unique and diverse flora and fauna.  Australia, sadly, has one of the highest rates of extinction in the world, something we really need to address, as the vast majority of the species here exist nowhere else!

So many species around the world are under threat of extinction, and for some, this will likely be within the next two decades.

Conservation Club aims to raise awareness of less well-known environments and also, to encourage learning through realistic illustrations and interesting information for children and adults alike, focusing on specific environments and some of the less well-known species within these habitats. Conservation of our natural environments and the species living within them is a hot topic and one of great importance as we experience more and more changes to our planet for various reasons.
