PAPERBACK
If We Care We Can
A Story of How One Glider Helped Save a Forest
Acacia, a tiny Squirrel Glider, is rescued, raised and released by wildlife carers. When she learns that her new forest home is about to be logged, Acacia plans to save the forest by collaborating with the other animals and humans alike.
This story is uniquely illustrated through a series of collages, melding photos, drawings, scanned flora and other artefacts contributed by more than 25 artists and photographers. ‘If We Care We Can’ is part of a collaborative community effort to save Bungabbee Forest on the North Coast of NSW, Australia.
