The loss or reduction of certain species can have a flow on effect; including an affect on human food and water source that are critical to our survival. Keeping the eco system in balance helps providing with clean air and clean water that we all benefit from, people and animals.
Globalteer works with several different conservation programmes. We work with Elephants sanctuaries in two parts of Thailand , and in Cambodia.
Also, in Peru we have a marine conservation program , a wildlife sanctuary as well as an Amazon conservation project. Moreover, we collaborate with marine conservation projects in Costa Rica , and in Borneo!
Animal conservation is a complicated field that requires a specific set of knowledge. Just as all interaction with animals, conservation needs to be done right. Globalteer has partnered up with local, already existing programmes.
We support the programmes through providing them with volunteers and administration work and donations to support their work. The big corporate companies have a lot of power over what is produced. However, demand from the consumers is equally as important. Know that your actions have power too.
Such as your consumption habits, the traces you leave in terms of waste, as well as your awareness and worded opinions. Skip to content. What is Conservation?
Why is animal conservation important? Conservation has several areas of importance. Biodiversity Biodiversity is one important issue. Release suffering Animal conservation can be important to relieve suffering for animals because they are kept captive.
Human needs Reduction in numbers of one animal can also have a chain effect on other species that are important to human beings. Water and air Keeping the eco system in balance helps providing with clean air and clean water that we all benefit from, people and animals. Sign up for AWI eAlerts , which keep you informed about urgent animal protection issues and provide quick and easy ways to get in touch with policymakers. This gives wild animals food, shelter, and a place to raise families.

Reduce the amount of lawn in your yard. Lawns offer minimal food and shelter for wildlife. Try replacing part of your lawn with garden beds or native plants and flowers instead.
Get crafty! Buy or build your own birdhouse or bat house. This can provide hours of fun for the whole family. No yard? No problem! Balconies and patios are great locations for container gardens. Do not use pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers on your lawn or garden beds.
These products are the leading cause of wildlife poisonings, and are also toxic to companion animals. Reduce light pollution: artificial light at night has severe negative effects on wildlife. To help, only use lighting when and where it is needed, properly shield all outdoor lights, keep your blinds drawn during the evening, and if safety is a concern, install motion detector lights and timers. Rethink fall cleanup: leaves, dead flower heads, and ornamental grasses provide critical food and shelter for birds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects during the winter months.
Learn more about how fall yard cleanup harms wildlife. Protect the Environment One of the easiest and most effective ways to help wildlife is to preserve the environment in which the animals live. Volunteer with organizations in your area to restore native forests, grasslands, and coastal ecosystems by planting native species, manually removing invasive plant species, and taking out old fences.
Participate in or hold your own local trash clean-up to help protect the habitats of imperiled species and other wildlife. Reduce, reuse, recycle! How do public lands promote wildlife conservation? In order to survive, a species requires adequate food, water, shelter, space, and opportunities to reproduce.
In the United States, as elsewhere in the world — habitat destruction is a primary threat to the continued survival of species. Without the existence of suitable habitat, a species will eventually face extinction.
Public lands include parks managed by The National Park Service and national wildlife refuges operated by the U. Fish and Wildlife Service. These lands are set aside to be protected for animal and plant species, as well as future generations. In addition to habitat destruction, what are other threats to wildlife?
The introduction of invasive species from far away continents introduced by humans can wreak havoc on native plant and animal species. The proliferation of chemicals in the environment including pesticides, PCBs, and oil spills, has the potential to poison wild animals and inhibit their reproductive capacities. Wild animal populations can also be threatened by poaching, wildlife trafficking, and military weapons testing.
