Conservation

Conservation is the protection of natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, including endangered species. Although much animal conservation focuses on wildlife, there are domesticated breeds suffering from the threat of extinction as well. Of course, pet lovers are generally concerned with the well-being of all living things.

Consider getting involved by donating to a conservation society, volunteering for an organization or at a nature reserve and educating others about the importance of conservation.
