In the forest,

Budjans dart and dive.

As animals 

wander and thrive.

 

The eagles as fast

as a bullet.

Lizards running with their

rough, tough scales.

 

Whoosh… a Budjan

swoops by and snatches

a lizard with its

cunning claws.

 

But sadly the Budjans

are dying all

because of Climate Change.

 

Dead fish are boiling,

the Bunyal stares down at them.

How can we help?
