Keep the Wild Alive

Recycle, Reduce, And Reuse
Encourage your family to take public transportation. Walk or ride bicycles rather than using the car.

Save energy by turning off lights, radios and the TV when you are not using them.

Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth and use water-saving devices on your toilet, taps and showerhead.

Recycle your toys, books and games by donating them to a hospital, daycare, nursery school or children's charity.

Conserve Habitats
One of the most important ways to help threatened plants and animals survive is to protect their habitats `permanently in national parks, nature reserves or wilderness areas. There they can live without too much interference from humans. It is also important to protect habitats outside reserves such as on farms and along roadsides.

Make Space For Our Wildlife
Build a birdfeeder and establish a birdbath for the neighborhood birds.

Plant a tree and build a birdhouse in your backyard.

Start composting in your backyard garden or on your balcony. It eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers which are harmful to animals and humans, and it benefits your plants!

Ask your parents not to use harmful chemicals in your garden or home.

Plant Native Plants That Are Local To The Area
If you can, plant native plants instead of non-native or introduced ones in your garden. You don’t want seeds from introduced plants escaping into the bush. Native grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees are more likely to attract native birds, butterflies and other insects, and maybe even some threatened species.

According to scientists, more than one and one-half million species exist on the earth today. However, recent estimates state that at least 20 times that many species inhabit the planet.

In the United States, 735 species of plants and 496 species of animals are listed as threatened or endangered.

There are more than 1,000 animal species endangered worldwide.

Tell Others!
Share your new knowledge with others. Tell them about endangered species and explain why they are endangered. Encourage others to learn more about endangered species.
Let them know that together, we can all make a difference.

There are more than 3,500 protected areas in existence worldwide. These areas include parks, wildlife refuges and other reserves. They cover a total of nearly 2 million square miles (5 million square km), or 3% of our total land area.

Aquatic species, which are often overlooked, are facing serious trouble.
