  1. Wow, so do I! I feel the same way. I am too young to be involved int the Conservation world, yet I know that it will be my profesion. I do not know what advice to give.. Oh, what i did was I looked up various internships at Zoos or Environmental Centers. Also, you can adopt an animal on www.panda.org (WWS) good Luck!


  2. You do not necessarily need money to help contribute to wildlife conservation.  A very good way to save wildlife is to writing to  or calling your government representatives regarding issues affecting wildlife.  You can also get involved with environmental groups in your area..Audubon, Sierra Club,etc.  They often have clean ups, letter writing campaigns, fund raisers, educational programs for kids, etc. that you can get involved in.  Volunteering for these types of organizations not only help the environment, but can be very rewarding work as well.  Educating others about environmental awareness also helps..talk to family, friends, co-workers, etc. about important environmental issues and what they can do to help.  Some helpful websites:

  3. put up a bird house is a good start

  4. don't worry about the money end of things there is lots you can do1)grab a garbage bag go outside start walking and pick up the garbage along the road side.2)if you have a garden in your yard plant bee and bird positive flowers like bee balm,sunflower,black-eyed Susan's,mountain ash tree if space permits3)build a bird house for purple martins maintain a bird feeder in the winter months and now to help out the birds coming back from the south3)Join a naturalists club or scouting group both organizations do great work in the outdoors

  5. See what's around near you, most towns have wildlife groups that could always use hands on voluntering, donate your time instead of money. If you can't find any local wildlife groups check the closest zoo for information on any or help at pounds.

  6. Since you are so much interested in this you can involve youngsters who are energetic and caring for animals like you. Then you can together collect funds from people by going to their houses , through yahoo or other resources such as signature campaigns , letter to the concerned authority etc

    Then give all the funds to a sanctuary.

  7. You can take part in environmental protests(that are reasonable) and you could do a part time-job in an environmental agency, so you can fight for the rights for nature.

  8. *  Buy a hunting/fishing license.  Those funds go directly to the state conservsation efforts.  

    Fill your tags.  The state has determined that the culling of the herd is necessary for the health and well-being of the herd in general.

    Eat your take.  It means less money going to the factory farms and the meat is much better for you.

    Join your local conservation club.  Your collective efforts will have a far greater positive impact on wildlife conservation.
