Dr. Jane Goodall Meets Project Numbat

Members of the Project Numbat Committee were honoured to be invited to meet Dr. Jane Goodall at Perth Zoo this week at the start of her Australian tour ‘Reasons for Hope’. Dr. Jane was at the Zoo to met with members of the Roots & Shoots Australia program, her global initiative to empower young people to conserve wildlife, the environment and people.

Project Numbat recently received funding from the Roots and Shoots program to continue to develop our numbat conservation program and provide school incursions across the southwest.

President Rob presented Dr. Jane with a numbat card and pin as a token of our thanks for all that she has done and continues to do.

Dr. Jane went on to meet a numbat in a private behind-the-scenes tour of Perth Zoo's Native Species Breeding Program and as you can see, she is as captivated with numbats as we are!
