Answer 1

this may sound silly but contact a fish and game club (hunting and fishing club) they do awesome river bed restoration to polluted rivers help in fish spawning programs,set up nesting boxes for endangered birds,get involved in forest replanting.Although they may hunt and fish they need to be concerned for the environment the animals live in to sustain the wildlife population.Many clubs have fish hatcheries and are active in protecting the environment from poachers.
