Wildlife At Risk – Year 11 Depth Study
📅 2025 Program Date:
Tuesday 29th July 2025 – Limited Capacity
💡 This is a one-day-only opportunity for Term 3 – include your preferred date in your EdTripper enquiry to secure a spot.
Designed for Year 11 students completing a Depth Study in Biology or Investigating Science, Wildlife at Risk places students in the role of scientific investigators to understand why species become endangered — and what we can do to protect them.
Led by Taronga Zoo’s education and conservation teams, students will explore case studies of threatened species, analyse human impacts on biodiversity, and examine real-world conservation strategies being used to fight extinction.
Through fieldwork-style activities, students will:
Analyse the factors contributing to species decline
Explore the role of zoos in species recovery
Engage in collaborative problem-solving around habitat loss, climate change and human activity
Examine how scientific evidence and technology guide conservation decision-making
💡 This is a one-day-only opportunity for Term 3 – include your preferred date in your EdTripper enquiry to secure a spot.
