Pledges from World Wildlife Day

On World Wildlife Day, we asked our conservation army to tell us one simple thing they would pledge to do in their everyday lives to help wildlife. Here’s what some of your fellow friends of wildlife had to say!

Kimberley Y. “Continue to sign petitions.” Elaine C. “Plant a pine tree.” Michelle M. “Try to use less plastic.” Christine O. “Try to cut down on unnecessary waste.” Irene S. “Continue to keep our backyard as a wildlife habitat.” Merrylyn S. “I'll 'adopt' one of the animals that are stuffed to represent the animal species I'll adopt.” Ty Y. “Picking up trash and plastic.” Denise L. “Buy products with less or eco-friendly packaging.” Sheri H. “Put up a bat box, plant bee friendly plants.”

Thanks so much for these as well as all of the other great answers we received!
