Giving Day: supporting a better future for wildlife

On 5 September 2024, The University of Adelaide’s ran its inaugural “Giving Day”; a 24-hour fundraising challenge aimed at contributing to causes that we’re passionate about. The Environment Institute highlighted the ‘Combating Environmental and Wildlife Crime Research Fund’ as a key cause that can help address the serious threat posed by environmental and wildlife crime in Australia and combat these issues through:

• Boosting Critical Research: Improve policing and enforcement against environmental
• Promoting Awareness: Enhance public understanding of wildlife protection.
• Ensuring Direct Impact: Funds are used solely for University of Adelaide research.

Thank you to the 31 individual donors who collectively raised $11,828 through this brilliant initiative.
