Daniel and William feel incredibly honoured to have this recognition for their efforts over the past 12 years and are so excited for what this award will bring for their quest to create greater awareness for the orangutans.  The boys hope to inspire students across Australia to become passionate for the environment and take action, as Sir David Attenborough says, “…to re-wild the planet”.
