Join the Wildlife Campaign

You can get involved with saving the wonderful species of animals and plants that have graced our planet for millennia. Many species have inspired humans in inventions, such as radar from bats, and aerodynamics from birds. Many plant and animal species have provided potent medicines and more research is ongoing to use plant and animal chemicals for health. 

The two major threats to our planet’s animal species are loss of territory and slaughtering for body parts. We can support their protection by challenging the fashion industry, confronting the lies presented as ‘traditional’ medicine, stop the decorative uses of body parts of hunted species, and by campaigning against taking animals from the wild to keep as pets in extremely poor and unhealthy conditions. 

All species on our planet are interdependent, when we lose one species, the loss has a knock on effect where others also become extinct. 60% of the planet’s mammals, birds, reptiles and fish are endangered and on the verge of extinction. Goodwill Ambassadors are coming forward, such as Aiden Gallagher, Nadya Hutagalung, Wang Junkai and Dia Mirza. 

How can you help? You can be an 'eco-activist'! Get involved in cleaning up the air, soil and oceans by reducing your plastic and polystyrene consumption, choose your clothing wisely, watch out for items in the incineration which pollute the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. Don’t be wasteful with power, such as electricity, avoid travel if you can, and avoid imports if you can by buying local products. Clean up refuse when you see it and place it safely for recycling. A clean environment is healthy for us and protects other species who are reliant on our responsibility to care for them. Raise awareness with your friends and family. They will appreciate the love you have for this unique and finite planet that we call Earth. By caring for our planet, it will care for us.
