Habitat Hero

Habitat Hero Challenge

Help Your Habitat

Your habitat is the space around you.
It could be your garden, your street, your school, or your suburb.

Wildlife lives all around us.
When we take care of these spaces, we help animals survive and thrive.

This challenge is about helping your habitat in ways that support wildlife without disturbing them.



🌍 Your Challenge

Step 1:
Complete all the challenges from the list below – remember to take photographs

Step 2:
Create a post in Earth Protectors Community and call it HABITAT HERO
Share what you did for this challenge in your post

1. Clean & Protect

  • Pick up litter in your area
  • Clean a small natural space like a garden, park, or roadside
  • Safely remove harmful items like plastic, string, or glass
  • Remember to wear protective gloves

2. Grow & Restore

Create a small wildlife-friendly space in your garden, local park, or even on your balcony. What matters most is that this is an undisturbed place, free from chemicals and litter.

  • Care for plants by watering and protecting them and never use harmful chemical pesticides
  • Leave a “wild corner” where nature is not disturbed
  • Add stones to shallow water bowls so small animals can escape and bees and other pollinators can drink safely. Remember to clean the water container and add fresh water every day or two.
  • Remove or fix hazards like tatty netting or loose string

3. Share Your Impact

  • Share what you did with your family or class and teach them about what it means to be habitat hero.
    This can be a digital poster you share or a short talk.
