The mural aims to raise awareness of the importance of sustainability and its effect on our local wildlife. The flora and fauna in the artwork consist of species which inhabit the nearby Little Para River Corridor. Our mural recognises the conservation status of each of the species which are threatened, obscure, or beneficial to the ecology of the corridor.
