Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. As the saying goes, “Think globally and act locally.” You can protect wildlife for future generations.
Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard. When choosing your lawn and landscaping, choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.
Avoid disrupting (扰乱) the natural ecosystem in our area. Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats, particularly if there is no natural predator (捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount. They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.
Practice a greener lifestyle. By saving water and fossil fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take public transportation when you can, turn off electric devices when you’re not using them, take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20℃ during the winter. Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming, which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.
Buy products that are wildlife friendly. Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife. Write letters to a local newspaper. Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.
Limit the family size. Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction. By living in established city limits and limiting the family size to around two children per family, the earth’s population will stabilize (稳定) and native habitats can be protected.
