Overview

Acacia, a Squirrel Glider, is rescued as a tiny joey and raised by human wildlife carers. When she is released in the wild she travels to a nearby forest, meeting and learning about native plants and animals, and how important the forest is to them. She overhears humans talking about plans to log the forest and, by collaborating with animals and humans alike, the forest is saved. 'If We Care We Can' promotes empathy and understanding towards wildlife and the environment; inspiring optimism and empowerment - helping humans realise the power of collaborative action. 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.
