Right or Wrong - You decide

We cannot open a newspaper or watch the evening news without seeing stories on the environment. Often the news is sad: an oil spill killing marine life for miles, or habitat being destroyed for construction or the thinning of the ozone layer. We do have the power to change those stories!

Conservation of our natural resources is critical. One part of conservation is preservation of habitat. We must also reverse and change actions that destroy quality habitat. Conservation of natural resources may require more new laws.

What roles do people play in the conservation of natural resources?

✓ Report natural resource destruction and wildlife crime

✓ Follow laws that are present to protect our environment

✓ Don't purchase wild-captured parrots and finches from pet shops

✓ Leave "orphaned" wildlife alone

✓ Practice organic farming and gardening

✓ Use environmentally-friendly pesticides only

✓ Recycle and reuse as many products as possible

✓ Become a member of an organization that purchases and properly manages wildlife habitats for wild animals


These are only a few steps that should be followed. Common sense approaches to protecting and looking after our environment and wild habitats should always be taken
