How can we protect and preserve endangered species and fragile?

• Bringing awareness to the public especially to the youth.• Recycling and buying sustainable products.• Growing native plants because local species rely on local

plants.• Drive less and walk more• Never dump chemicals or industrial waste into streams or

rivers

• Volunteer your time to protect the wild life in your area.• Write letters, sign petitions when things go wrong.• Never encourage black marketing because we never realise

that we are buying things like tortoise shell, ivory and coral which are constantly under threat.

• Avoid plastic products.
