How can I help endangered animals, without donating? Are there any other ways I can help them?

Question

I was just wondering, because my mom(I'm only 14) won't let me donate money, no matter how much I beg. So are there any other ways?

Answer 1

First, let me say I think it is wonderful that you care about endangered species. I believe they are a treasure we will regret losing if we are not careful.

Previous comments have good ideas about raising awareness in other people.

Another consideration for you is looking online for organization that protect species. I'm sure they will have good ideas beyond contributions. There are organizations that protect species in general and those that are specific to certain species.

The simple act of your posting this question is a positive step in helping them because without questions, there are no solutions.

Another thing to consider is that even if you are unable to help with financial contributions now, you will be able to do so when you are an adult. You might consider keeping yourself educated and perhaps you will choose a career that will help the animals. Even if you do not find ways to directly help right now, the fact that you continue to be aware is valuable. Undoubtedly you have a bright future before you.

Answer 2

There is something very important and effective that you can do - write letters. A lot of letters. Write to politicians in your area urging them to protect local habitats (do some research to find specific projects local to your area that are threatening wetlands, etc.). On a more global scale, write to U.S. based companies that do business overseas that impact threatened habitat. You can start with oil companies, McDonalds, and hardwood import businesses. Make sure the letters are professional, spell-check, and ask for specific things or specific information that will prompt a response, even if the response is "no". Keep track of who you write to and the responses you get. In a few years you will be an adult, and at that point you will have options that are not available to you now.

Answer 3

You can help by coolecting money from others , then your mom will understand that u are serious about the matter and she will give money to you.

And you can help by just spreading the need of protection of endangered species to othersbecause moneyis not neccesary for it what is neccesary is changing mentality

Answer 5

why not volunteer doing things such as clean-ups or invasive plant removal to help local and endangered species survive. Contact your local Audobon society to see what volunteer opportunities they might have for you. You can also educate others about endangered species.

Answer 6

You can also research about products that harm them, and boycott them. And then tell everyone you know about which companies are perpetuating problems like deforesting in the tropics that are causing mass extinctions.

I find it's pretty easy to change how people look at the products they consume, and it's a simple thing to choose not to buy something, but when lots of people choose not to buy, the company will eventually feel it, and hopefully change their bad practices.

Answer 7
