Light the way for our endangered wildlife
Join the Torch for Wildlife - a fundraising walk / run uniting schools, families, and communities to protect 26 endangered Australian species.
One day. One community.
One torch of hope.
Torch for Wildlife is a walk or run inspired by the Olympic torch relay. It is a fundraising event. By walking or running together as a group, school or community - carrying the torch - we can build awareness of the need to take action together to protect our wildlife and their habitats for future generations.
We allocate 100% of or funds raised to wildlife conservation and rehabilitation programs, including projects established for endangered species protection, rescue and rehabilitation, wildlife health education, and habitat development.”
“Every time a species becomes extinct, the ripple effect is exponential. The resulting impact upon other wildlife species, and our environment becomes much greater than it first imagined.”.

Meet the 26 species we’re fighting for
Why your support matters
Australia is home to some of the world’s most unique wildlife — but 26 species urgently need our help to survive.
Your efforts fund real conservation work and connect them with the land they’re helping to protect.
All fundraising monies raised contribute to our planets conservation, where every tree planted is a living legacy.
Badger Creek Primary School
Badger Creek Primary School, nestled at the foot of the majestic Mt. Riddell was an obvious choice for our first Torch 4 Wildlife walkathon. The school began as Coranderrk School when William Barak and his Wurundjeri tribe came down from the Acheron and settled nearby. They respected the land and looked upon the mountain as the resting place for Bunjil, the wedge-tailed eagle. 163 years later, the students still respect Bunjil and the large carved Eagle takes pride of place in the learning centre. The proximity to the Healesville Sanctuary has provided a unique opportunity for teachers and students to work closely with the Sanctuary and the school has signed up for the Zoos Victoria 'Fighting Extinction' program.
