Positive Conservation
Power to change for the better..
“Echidna Walkabout’s driving principle is positive conservation,” says Janine Duffy, head of Echidna Walkabout’s Conservation Program
“We believe people protect what they know, and what they love.

Which is why every every Echidna Walkabout tour has a conservation action.
