About Us

The NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) and NSW Environment and Zoo Education Centres (EZEC) have partnered to bring local biodiversity conservation to schools across NSW through the Conservation Champions Program.

The program helps students discover the biodiversity in their local area and understand why protecting it matters. Through classroom resources and opportunities for hands-on learning, students can explore local habitats, flora and fauna, and visit BCT agreement properties where landholders are working to protect and restore biodiversity.

By connecting students with local environments and the people caring for them, Conservation Champions brings biodiversity conservation to life while supporting learning across science, geography and environmental education
