Wildlife of Australia’s Cloud Forest 7 day wonder experience!


Climate change and habitat degradation are taking a toll on our shared planet, and it’s easy to feel helpless  in the face of global issues. The work of understanding, managing and conserving Earth requires on the spot research, community outreach and untold hours or real and meaningful action. What why Earthwatch expeditions were created.
For more than 40 years Earthwatch have helped make significant, positive changes around the world. That’s because Earthwatch volunteers and not eco tourists -- they carry, measure, track, seat, record, camp, hike, paddle, observe, snorkel, climb, photograph, measure and at the  end of the day their work makes a difference.
 
With over 50 expeditions in 25 countries we have expeditions in all areas of climate change, ocean health, ecosystems and cultural preservation. As a not for profit all contributions to join an Earthwatch expedition go to where it is most needed -- the science.
 
This June Wildlife Secrets is teaming up with Earthwatch Australia and giving one lucky subscriber the chance to win a place on Wildlife of Australia’s Cloud Forest. Situated in the Wet Tropics of Northern Queensland you will have the opportunity to spend a week working alongside leading scientists as part of a field research team. From bird watching in the morning, to reptiles surveys in the day right through to spotlighting at night you be helping to record as many animals as you find at the varying heights. This information will then be used to assess what changes are occurring due to changing climates and ultimately what impact this will have on certain species for their protection.
 
You will have a rare opportunity to visit truly beautiful rainforests, with those most passionate about the environment, while seeing some amazingly unique and special animals -- a lot that are hard to find without those who know where to find them.
