What can we as human being do to protect and insure the quality of life for all animals around the world? We’ve all heard about those charitable organizations that collect your money and claim they help the tigers and giraffes in Africa, but how reliable are they? Why should we be worrying about animals on the other side of the world, when many species right here at home are suffering? And why should we trust our hard earned money on less than trustworthy charities, that could be doing who knows what with it? Instead of throwing your money away to random ”volunteers” and hoping something happens, there are many ways to insure that animals get the help they need; many times without spending even a dime.
One of the biggest problems that animals all around the world are facing right now is the rapid loss of habitat. Huge tracks of hundred year old rainforest are being cleared hourly in order to produce wood, so we can build more mega shoppingmalls and Walmarts ontop of our local swamplands. When this happens, there is no room for all of the displaced animals who either die, or find some new home that they will be quickly kicked out of. What can we do? Stop shopping at Walmart? No, they have awesome deals at low prices; so take advantage of them. Use the extra savings around your house. A simple, cost effective way to provide a natural habitat and help local wildlife is to build a birdhouse in your backyard. Coupled with a birdfeeder and possibly a birdbath, pretty soon beautiful endangered birds and others alike will be coming from all over the neighbourhood to hang out in your back yard. Just remember, all wild animals are WILD, so dont touch them. Just enjoy their chirps, squacks and pretty feathers from the comfort of your front portch.
Also, another way to help all living creatures is to give back to the environment. Humans take so much from our Earth, and everyday we consume more and more. Our Earth can’t handle this drastic increase. While we live in luxury, fragile ecosysterms of plants and animals are being devastated. They have lived in prosperity for millions of years, and just recently they have started dying off. Once the plants are gone, so are the animals, and then so are we. How can one help to stop this horrible cycle? Go to your local supermarket or nursery and get packets full of seeds. Next time you go for a walk or bike ride sprinkle the seeds in the ditch or beside the road, you dont even need to plant them. Before you know, mother nature will nurture them into huge plantations of beautiful wildflowers, where many more generations of animals can prosper.
