Humans have a large influence on how it is that animals are perceived and therefore protected or neglected. When humans engage in decision making processes, decisions can be made in three broad categories – anthropocentric, biocentric or technocentric. In this activity, you will be looking at the Wildlife Victoria Animal Rescue Map to determine reported 'nuisance' animals and create a pamphlet to help people understand wildlife, their importance in biodiversity and how to manage the 'problem' they cause.
