10 EASY THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SAVE ENDANGERED SPECIES
1.Teach your friends and family about the wonderful wildlife, birds, fish and
plants that live near you. The first step to protecting endangered species is
learning about how interesting and important they are
2. These protected lands provide habitat to many native wildlife, birds, fish and
plants. Scientists tell us the best way to protect endangered species is to protect
the places where they live. Get involved by volunteering at your local nature
center or wildlife refuge. Go wildlife or bird watching in nearby parks.
3. Secure garbage in shelters or cans with locking lids, feed pets indoors and
lock pet doors at night to avoid attracting wild animals into your home. Reduce
your use of water in your home and garden so that animals that live in or near
water can have a better chance of survival. Disinfect bird baths often to avoid
disease transmission. Place decals on windows to reduce bird collisions.
Millions of birds die every year because of collisions with windows.
4. Attracting native insects like bees and butterflies can help pollinate your
plants. The spread of non-native species has greatly impacted native populations
around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources
and habitat.
5. Many herbicides and pesticides take a long time to degrade and build up in
the soils or throughout the food chain. Predators such as hawks, owls and
coyotes can be harmed if they eat poisoned animals. Some groups of animals
such as amphibians are particularly vulnerable to these chemical pollutants and
suffer greatly as a result of the high levels of herbicides and pesticides in their
habitat.
6. Many animals live in developed areas and this means they must navigate a
landscape full of human hazards. One of the biggest obstacles to wildlife living

in developed areas is roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant hazard
to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re
driving a car, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.
7. Buy recycled paper, sustainable products like bamboo to protect forest
species. Never buy furniture made from wood from rainforests. Recycle your
cell phones, because a mineral used in cell phones and other electronics is mined
in gorilla habitat. Minimize your use of palm oil because forests where tigers
live are being cut down to plant palm plantations.
8. Overseas trips can be exciting and fun, and everyone wants a souvenir. But
sometimes the souvenirs are made from species nearing extinction. Avoid
supporting the market in illegal wildlife including: tortoise-shell, ivory, coral.
Also, be careful of products including fur from tigers, polar bears, sea otters and
other endangered wildlife, crocodile skin, live monkeys or apes, most live birds
including parrots, macaws, cockatoos and finches, some live snakes, turtles and
lizards, some orchids, cacti and cycads, medicinal products made from rhinos,
tiger or Asiatic black bear.
9. Shooting, trapping, or forcing a threatened or endangered animal into
captivity is also illegal and can lead to their extinction. Don’t participate in this
activity, and report it as soon as you see it to your local state or federal wildlife
enforcement office.
10. Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread
destruction of habitat. Scientists tell us the best way to protect endangered
species is to protect the special places where they live. Wildlife must have
places to find food, shelter and raise their young. Logging, oil and gas drilling,
over-grazing and development all result habitat destruction. Endangered species
habitat should be protected and these impacts minimized.
By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals and plants can be protected
together. Parks, wildlife refuges, and other open space should be protected near
your community. Open space also provides us with great places to visit and
enjoy. Support wildlife habitat and open space protection in your community.
When you are buying a house, consider your impact on wildlife habitat.
