Wear it Wild

The 'Wear it Wild' guide by WWF South Africa provides activities and tips for youth groups aged 5–14 to raise money and awareness for iconic animals and their habitats through wild-themed events and costumes.

• Wear it Wild is an initiative designed to raise awareness and funds for iconic animals, such as tigers and rhinos, which in turn helps protect natural resources and vital habitats.
• The guide suggests several creative ways for youth groups to create costumes, including using recycled materials like plastic milk bottles for turtle shells, cardboard for rhino armour, or tie-dying t-shirts for tigers.
• WWF provides specific ethical and environmental guidelines for costumes, explicitly stating that real fur must not be used and encouraging the use of recycled clothes from jumble sales or charity shops.
• Recommended fundraising and engagement activities include hosting open evenings, face-painting for a small charge, organizing scavenger hunts in local towns, and holding bake sales or sponsored walks.
