What You Can Do

Remember that your backyard is part of planet Earth - it's the place to start!

• Practice your writing skills and contact your local, state, or federal representatives to ask for support in protecting our disappearing wildlife and the places they call home.
• Become an informed consumer! Many plants, animals, and habitats are affected by our demands for endangered species products, such as ivory and skins.
• Share your knowledge and concern with friends, family, and associates. Reach out and join local conservation groups or start a neighborhood club that sponsors environmental issues.
• Slow down the exploitation of habitats and natural resources: reduce-recycle-reuse-rebuild-replant!
