Your Impact
By giving 60 minutes a day for nature and raising vital funds, you’ll be helping to protect and restore our precious planet – creating a future where people and nature thrive together
koalas matter
By taking on Challenge 60 to help raise funds for koala's you can help ensure they are protected against the deadly Chlamydia disease; create wildlife corridors to help them move around safely; and protect their forest homes for the long-term.
A donation of $45 could help plant more trees and create homes for thousands of native animals like koalas.
Create a safer world for tigers - and humans too
With less than 5,600 left in the wild, every big cat counts.
Tigers are an endangered species, and their landscapes are under threat.
Raising $80 can help prevent poaching of tigers in Malaysia.
Greater Glider Goals
Greater gliders are losing old-growth forests to logging and development, while climate change brings heat, bushfires and floods. Scarce tree hollows and rising stress leave them increasingly vulnerable.
Raising $150 can help provide special nest boxes for greater gliders to survive in Australia's warming climate.
Track and Protect Whales on Their 'Superhighways'
The oceans have become so dangerous that six out of 13 of the world’s great whale species are now classified as Endangered or Vulnerable.
Raising $250 can help create safe corridors for whales by tracking migration routes, expanding marine sanctuaries and enforcing rules to reduce harm from ships and fishing nets.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE OUR PLANET A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Australia is home to unique wildlife found nowhere else in the world. But sadly, we hold the record for the most mammal extinctions on the planet. Biodiversity loss and climate change continue to accelerate – we urgently need to scale-up solutions to address the crisis. Take part in Challenge 60 and shine a spotlight on nature loss to give our planet a brighter future.
Challenge 60 is part of WWF's shared mission to Regenerate Nature by 2030, to create a future where people live in harmony with nature. The funds you raise will support critical conservation projects that protect our wildlife and wild places. You will be helping to protect and restore our planet for everything that calls it home.

What is Challenge 60?
Challenge 60 Workplace Heroes is part of WWF-Australia’s Earth Hour movement. It is a simple and impactful way for workplaces to give 60 minutes and raise funds to go further for nature. From 1 to 28 March, your team chooses how you will spend your hour: moving outdoors, switching off, creating, connecting or taking meaningful action to help protect and regenerate nature.
WHY SHOULD OUR WORKPLACE GET INVOLVED?
Participating in Challenge 60 boosts employee wellbeing, strengthens team connection and creates a shared sense of purpose. It encourages time outdoors, inspires positive habits and shows your workplace is committed to protecting the planet we all depend on. It is a meaningful way to build team spirit and make your moves count for nature.
HOW DO WE PARTICIPATE?
It is easy to get started. Between 1 and 28 March, give 60 minutes once, weekly or every day, and use that time in a way that suits your workplace. You can move, unplug, create, reflect or take action outdoors in nature.
Many workplaces choose to:
- Take a team nature walk
- Host a wellbeing session
- Run a 60 minute digital switch off
- Use a lunch hour for a clean up, outdoor meeting or group activity
Your challenge is completely flexible. Simply commit to at least one 60 minute activity during the Challenge 60 period.
