Ongoing since 1994, the Karajia and Environment Awards for Children’s Literature is The Wilderness Society’s yearly recognition of outstanding new children’s books, spanning fiction, non-fiction and picture books. The focus is on literature dedicated to fostering a love and appreciation for nature. The Awards could be utilised in an Australian school setting to promote environmental awareness and conservation values among students. The award aligns with educational goals related to sustainability and environmental education, providing teachers with resources to integrate into their curriculum. Recognising and promoting quality children’s literature on environmental themes supports literacy development while also instilling a sense of responsibility towards nature.
