Adopt an animal near extinction
Earth Points5
EaseEasy
Summary
Human activities have led to a drastic decline in wildlife populations. Adopting an animal supports habitat protection, research, and anti-poaching efforts, contributing directly to species preservation.
Description
Adopt an animal to help keep vulnerable species safe from extinction. Monitored population sizes of mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians have declined by over two-thirds since 1970 because of humans. This is a direct way to help the most vulnerable creatures that are at risk of being lost forever.
Adopting an animal helps protect habitats, fund research, and reduce poaching, which benefits both the endangered animal and those living nearby. Donations do not just go to animal conservation but also to work with governments to bring forward better policies, fight deforestation, and build partnerships with local communities. So by adopting an animal, you are not just protecting these species but also helping tackle the climate crisis simultaneously!
