Simply Learn More.
Read books and magazines, watch nature programs on TV, experience a SWI
wildlife presentation with your family and learn about the natural
world. The more you know and understand the environment, the more you
can do to help!Share what you know about the environment and what can be done to help save endangered species to your friends and family. Modeling environmentally friendly practices (e.g. parents who recycle, pick up trash and conserve water) demonstrate a reverence for our environment.
Write constructive (but respectful) letters to government officials and big businesses. Express your concerns about wildlife and the environment. If enough people write, someone will listen.
DO NOT buy
products made from wild animals and exotic hard woods! If people do not
buy products made from wild animals, the people who hunt and trap wild
animals will have to stop making products. Products made from exotic
hard woods often come from the rainforest that is home to many
endangered animals. Ask if you are not sure what a product is made of
and where it comes from.
DO NOT buy
live animals that have been taken from the wild. When even one animal
is taken from the wild it encourages trappers to catch more. This
includes all animals: mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and
even insects. If you would like an exotic animal for a pet, ask the
seller if it was bred in captivity and have them show you proof.Work with and support environmental organizations. You can support organizations through donations of money, materials, and your time.
Plant a tree. Trees provide shelter and food to animals. Trees also help fight global warming caused by the greenhouse effect, hold together soil, create shade, and make the world a more beautiful place.
