Last week, our passionate Tangalooma Ecomarine ambassadors — Keanu, Skyla, Kendall and Willow — had the opportunity to visit Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary alongside students from other Ecomarine schools.

Their day began with engaging workshops on composting, recycling and waste management, where they brainstormed exciting ideas for future environmental projects at our school. The students also attended the renowned bird show and toured the animal hospital, gaining a deeper appreciation for the vital work the sanctuary does in rescuing and rehabilitating injured wildlife.

One memorable moment was meeting Pickles, a pelican recovering from an injury caused by a fishing hook. The ambassadors learned that once fully healed, Pickles will be released back into his natural habitat.

The day concluded with a guided tour of the sanctuary, where the students explored and learned about a variety of native and exotic animals. It was a fun, inspiring and educational experience, and our ambassadors are eager to share their new knowledge and ideas with the rest of our Environmental Warriors team.
