THE Big Red Car is rolling into the Ballarat Wildlife Park with Blue Wiggle, Lucia Field named the organisation’s new conservation ambassador.<\/p>\n

The appointment is the start of a partnership which aims to promote wildlife conservation, education and engagement with native fauna.<\/p>\n

Field will help the park raise awareness about endangered species and the importance of preserving wildlife.<\/p>\n

“I’m so excited to become part of the Ballarat Wildlife Park family,” said Field.<\/p>\n

“Animals have always been close to my heart, and I can’t wait to share the wonder of our wildlife with kids and families across Australia.<\/p>\n

“Together, we can help ensure that future generations grow up appreciating and protecting the amazing creatures we share this planet with.”<\/p>\n

“Her passion for conservation and education aligns perfectly with our goals, and we look forward to working together to foster a greater understanding of wildlife.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
