Just letting you guys know that I love animals, but whales seem to be my favorite. The Gray Whale is critically endangered in the Western Pacific. This is not very good at all. The gray whale is one step away from becoming extinct in nature; that means that they will soon only live in captivity…unless we help protect them. There are many animals which are endangered or almost endangered. And there are even more who are becoming extinct in wild, which means they are only alive in captivity. People need to be more careful when it comes to wild animals. Because of our past actions, there are certain animals that might not be around much longer unless we do something to change that. Here are some tips that I found to help out endangered animals:
~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.
~You can visit a nearby national park or nature reserve. Some national parks have special guided tours and walks for kids. Talk to the rangers to find out whether there are any threatened species and how they are being protected. You and your friends might be able to help the rangers in their conservation work.
~When you visit a national park, make sure you obey the wildlife code: follow fire regulations; leave your pets at home; leave flowers, birds’ eggs, logs and bush rocks where you find them; put your rubbish in a bin or, better still, take it home.
~If you have friends who live on farms, encourage them to keep patches of bush as wildlife habitats and to leave old trees standing, especially those with hollows suitable for nesting animals.
~Some areas have groups which look after local lands and nature reserves. They do this by removing weeds and planting local native species in their place. You could join one of these groups, or even start a new one with your parents and friends. Ask your local parks authority or council for information.
~By removing rubbish and weeds and replanting with natives you will allow the native bush to gradually regenerate. This will also encourage native animals to return.
If we all just remember these things, then we can help save some animals! Yeah!!!
