“The reason I am doing this is to save wildlife because wildlife can’t protect themselves. We need more people, especially kids, helping protect the environment.  If the environment could speak I’m sure they would say, thank you!”

Owen’s interest in protecting the natural environment started around the age of three and a half on a trip to Australia Zoo’s Wildlife Hospital. On that day, Owen decided to raise money for the wildlife hospital and now at the age of seven has managed to raise over $23,000. He has also raised funds for Quoin Island Turtle Rehabilitation Centre and Cooberie Park Wildlife Sanctuary. Owen is passionate, dedicated, hardworking, intelligent, authentic and inspirational. He wants others to join his mission for conservation, change the perception we have of kids; and to understand that kids can be dedicated, show initiative and achieve more than adults normally give them credit for. This is why he started a not-for-profit, kids led, hands on environmental group The Cap Coast Eco Warriors.
