Happy World Wildlife Day. Today we celebrate the flora and the fauna in the world, which biologists estimate to be around 8.7 million different species.
While we have over 50 different species in our care, and it is really cool to see animals in captivity, our most important goal is to educate the public about the animals and habitats beyond us. We want to help people understand and respect wildlife for what it is and not what we want it to be.
Wildlife is fragile, it is estimated that thousands of species go extinct every year, and those numbers just keep rising.
How can you help wildlife? Here are some simple ways.
-Plant trees
-Recycle
-Don’t litter
-Leave the leaves in your yard
-Keep pets such as dogs and cats indoors or supervised when outdoors to ensure they are not hunting native wildlife
-Avoid palm oil
-Donate to wildlife rehabilitators and conservation efforts.
I could talk about this for hours, but I will wrap up this post here for simplicity’s sake.
