Hi my name is Leah
I, like most people enjoy being outside.
I enjoy seeing the world for all its natural beauty, and I enjoy appreciating whats around me.
We all make mistakes and nobody's perfect, but animals and ecosystems, they shouldn't be paying the price for our negligence.
I’m excited to announce I’ve been selected as an official cast member of the socially conscious, award-winning TV series Adventure All Stars.
Pre-filming I’m raising funds and awareness for Wildlife & Environmental Conservation efforts in Australia.
All funds raised in my campaign will be going to the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife (FNPW), the charity partner of Australia's National Parks. A non-government organisation on a mission to protect Australia’s ecosystems and native species for generations to come.
If you would like to this incredible Australian organisation you’re helping me to highlight the importance of educating the community on Environmental Sustainability and conserving our natural wonders.
Did you know the population of our marine mammals, birds, plants and Fish are in serious decline globally?
- 90% our shellfish reefs have now disappeared
-
A third of our sea grasses have been lost in a single generation
- One in four sharks, rays and skates are now threatened with extinction
- Four of our turtles ( the Hawksbill , Kemp's Ridley, Green and loggerhead) are now listed as endangered or critically endangered
- Between 1970 and 2005 species of Tuna, Mackerel and Bonito declined by as much as 75% *Heough, Guldberg et al., 2015
All that matters is that we try and we do whats right. Do your part to be environmentally conscious with safe sustainable waste removal. Don't by unethically sourced seafood!
If you are able to contribute any small amount to the FNPW please click the link below and your funds will help vital rescue missions, research and rehabilitation projects along our coastlines.
I’m excited to announce I’ve been selected as an official cast member of the socially conscious (and award-winning) TV series Adventure All Stars. Produced by the acclaimed Charity TV Global, this ground-breaking media format provides a platform for me to raise funds and exposure for a philanthropic cause I’m passionate about. Pre-filming I’m proud to be raising awareness for Wildlife & Environmental Conservation efforts in Australia.
Why am I fundraising and how can you help me?
You don’t know what you’ve got til’ it’s gone. Ask anyone in the world what comes to mind when they think of Australia and you can safely bet they will mention koalas, kangaroos and incredible natural landscapes. Despite fondly identifying as the home of an incredibly diverse range of flora and fauna species Australia has lost more animals to extinction than any other country in the world. Since the year 2000 over 7.47 million hectares of habitat for threatened species has been destroyed and currently in excess of 1800 Australian animals, plants and ecosystems are listed under our national environmental law as threatened with extinction. Our Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s most biologically diverse ecosystems and our northern oceans are some of the last remaining healthy tropical seas. A staggering 80% of marine species in our Southern oceans are found nowhere else on Earth, so let's band together and save these unique species. By donating to my fundraising campaign you’re helping me to highlight the importance of educating the community on Environmental Sustainability and conserving our natural wonders.
Net proceeds raised throughout this project will be granted to the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife https://www.fnpw.org.au/
