How can you do your part to protect and show your appreciation for endangered animals?

Question

Every day more species are becoming endangered. What can you do to help protect these animals?

Answer 1

Support facilities like The Wilds in Cumberland, OH.  

"The Wilds is one of the largest and most innovative wildlife conservation centers in the world. Located on nearly 10,000 acres in southeast Ohio, it is home to rare and endangered species from around the world living in natural, open-range habitat, as well as home to hundreds of indigenous species."

We just arrived home from our first visit.  It was a wonderful day.  They will be starting mussel and h**l binder research soon.  We saw four white rhinos, one recently born.  It is difficult to breed white rhinos in captivity.  They have a lot more room to roam than the ones in our zoo in Indy.

Do some research.

Answer 2

For starters, deforestation is a big problem to wildlife, this is because they lose their habitat. What I think we can do is stop cutting down trees so many trees and to reserve more wildlife habitats. Another is that we should try to end pollution, this way many animals are saved especially marine life.

Answer 3

Don't use animal products like shawls, ash tray, paint brushes, leather products etc. Buy them only when you are absolutely sure that these have not been obtained from endangered animals.

Join sites like these -

http://www.greenpeace.org/international/

http://www.wwf.org/

Get involved in their campaigns and use their services like sending email greetings which will help them in an indirect manner.

Don't visit circuses unless they have animals that are not endangered.

Inform the police about any illegal activity involving these animals.

Spread the message among all you know through the above mentioned sites.

Answer 4

These species have certain requirements.  The greatest danger to animals is habitat loss and destruction.  There are two things that can be done.  Preserve as much habitat as possible.  And reduce the growth and expansion of the human population.
