This sequence of five lesson ideas focuses on the concept that Australia's biosecurity and environmental wellbeing are enhanced when individuals understand the behaviours, rules and laws associated with being an environmentally responsible citizen. The resource provides students with the opportunity to explore how Australia’s environment and democratic way of life may be undermined by biosecurity issues and wildlife crime activity. It identifies the safeguards that protect Australia’s citizens, environment, and democratic system. Students explore behaviours, rules and laws that protect Australian biosecurity and wildlife, describing the rights and responsibilities of citizens in the process. The resource includes curriculum links, links to external resources, student handouts, a list of ideas for further student enquiry and relevant assessment rubrics. This sequence is part of a series of Civics and Citizenship theme packs from Crime Stoppers Australia.
