Kangaroo Haven | Australia We partnered with Kangaroo Haven in 2016 to educate students about the challenges associated with protecting Australian wildlife and conservation areas. Students assist in the rehabilitation of rescued kangaroos, which includes feeding young kangaroos and cleaning and maintaining their enclosures. It takes up to 18 months of care before joeys can be returned to the wild.
