"MAD" Action Program
MAD (Making a Difference)
GOING MAD is about taking action towards a better world. It is about Making a Difference. Our actions have an impact on more than what we see. The MAD REALITY is with our decisions and actions we really can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Monarto Zoo challenges you to GO MAD. We invite you to join forces with us as MAD supporters for ourselves, our families, our class at school, our wider community and ultimately THE WORLD we all live in!
You can be MAD at School connecting to the zoo and taking action from your classroom. You can also go MAD at the Zoo by incorporating the great work you are doing in the classroom with a visit to the zoo.
You can be MAD if you participate in a day, overnight, unassisted or community program. Everyone can be MAD!
