Animal Hunting for Their Skin

STOP BUYING CLOTHES MADE OUT OF ANIMAL'S SKIN!

People tend to get the idea that when one says stop buying clothes made that means that they only have to do that. People have to understand that buying the tusks also includes into the whole idea of buying things made out of animal's body parts.Would you like it if someone made a coat or a rag out of your skin?Hoe would you feel if someone skinned you while you are widely awake(conscious)? Seriously that would feel terrible! People call that sadistic..how is doing the same thing to animals any different?
Look at this animals above don't you people feel sorry for this poor living thing! Do you know that hunters usually go for the Male head of the family to get the tusks because the male head of the troop always has the biggest tusks.But they don't understand that when the head of the troop is gone the other members would be lost and without a leader.So not only are you destroying one soul you are destroying the entire family! If this were to continue I'm very sure there would be a day when you can't show your child or grandchild what an elephant looks like or a white tiger looks like. You would have to show your child or grandchildren a picture of how did a elephant look like....Just like how we do it when it comes to the dodo bird or even the dinosaurs!

Conserve Habitats

  • 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. 
 
 Protect Wildlife Habitat

Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Deforestation, farming, over-grazing and development all result in irreversible changes—soil compaction, erosion, desertification, and alteration of local climatic conditions. Such land use practices vastly alter or even eliminate wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species are present, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together and when communities are kept intact, less conservation intervention is required to ensure species survival. Parks, reserves, and other protected lands are too often the only habitats left untouched by habitat destruction.

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Every thing you do counts! Like Mahatma said even one person can make a difference. Stop abusing the animals. Help make it known to people that they should get involved.
By letting local and national governments know that you're concerned about endangered species, you're increasing the likelihood that someone will do something about it.
 
JOIN A CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION
There is a wide range of conservation organizations working to protect endangered animals and habitats. Different organizations have different objectives—some work to protect a small plot of land or to protect whales, others focus on establishing good environmental policies in local government. If you have a specific area of interest, you can often find an organization that is working to protect the species or habitats you're most concerned about. By joining in, you can support well-organized, ongoing efforts to protect species and habitats. And if you want to participate in conservation field work, you can often get involved in specific programs within many conservation organizations that rely to a great extent on help from volunteers.
 
Thank You. :))
