1.
You can do something for wildlife TODAY by
declining the use of a plastic bag.
More than 8,000 people visit this site every day, if
each declines one plastic bag a week that's 416,000
plastic bags less thrown away every year!
The next time you visit a wildlife reserve, pick up
any plastic garbage you see and take it out with you.
Do NOT throw plastic bags, styrofom, cans, bottles etc
into rivers or in wilderness areas! Every little bit
helps! EVERY MOVE CAN BECOME A MOVEMENT IF ENOUGH
PEOPLE JOIN IN!!
2.
You can support organisations such as the Wildlife
Protection Society of India, Wildlife First!, The
Corbett Foundation, Wildlife Trust of India, the
Bombay Natural History Society, and World Wide Fund
for Nature - India, Friends of the Doon Society.
3.
You can REPORT any illegal activity you see or hear
of in protected wilderness areas to the proper
authorities, or even to this site. If you see
pollution, urban encroachments, poaching, timber
smuggling, corruption and diversion of forest land for
non-wildlife/forest purposes including roads,
industry, hotels, temples, mining and so forth, MAKE A
FUSS!
4.
You can EDUCATE people you meet in wilderness areas
about the need to NOT throw garbage in the area, the
need to NOT play loud music and make a racket, and the
need to NOT smoke cigarettes in fire-risk areas. Don't
be embarrassed, SPEAK and make your opinion heard.
5.
You can give forest/wildlife protection staff moral
support and encouragement, and NOT take up staff or
managers' time with requests for assistance or special
privileges. India is already full of VIPs on the make
for special privileges, don't join their ugly ranks!
6.
You can DONATE equipment like clothes, boots,
spotlights, field equipment etc direct to protection
staff on the ground, through this site or better
still, through any of the NGOs mentioned on this page,
at the same notifying this site so that everybody
knows what and who the donation is for and will make
sure it reaches the people it is meant for.
7.
You can TEACH CHILDREN that raw nature is not
dangerous and hazardous, but is the basis of our life
itself. Teach them to CONSERVE WATER AND ELECTRICITY.
Teach them by example to RESPECT ALL LIVING THINGS
including plants and trees and insects, and to RESPECT
OUR ENVIRONMENT ... our rivers and seas, mountains and
forests.
