#148 Finding Belonging Through Australian Wildlife with Adrian Sherriff

Adrian Sherriff has spent much of his life bringing people closer to Australian wildlife, not simply to admire animals, but to understand the systems that keep them alive. Animals Anonymous began as a straightforward idea: taking native animals into schools and community spaces to spark curiosity and connection. Over time, that idea grew into a broader mission encompassing education, inclusion, conservation, and a sense of belonging.Animals Anonymous now operates across several areas. The organisation delivers wildlife education programs, teaches animal handling to university students, and hosts private wildlife encounters at its property in Mylor in the Adelaide Hills. It also runs an NDIS program supporting people with disabilities, helping them develop confidence, social skills, and purpose through working with animals. Watching people find connection and belonging through shared care and curiosity has become one of the most meaningful outcomes of Adrian’s work.More Informationhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3hcErP3avhLkKVIK2LAIAd?si=75189ffee06847c6https://aussiewildlifeshow.podbean.com/https://www.reptilecreative.com.au/https://www.facebook.com/AussieWildlifeShow/If you enjoy this podcast, please like and subscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts.Leave us a comment and share this show with your friends.It really helps us to reach more citizen scientists, like you.Contact the ShowWe are always looking for more guests to tell us about interesting citizen science projects, research and events.You can email us at: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
