There are several actions one can take to conserve and protect local wildlife in their natural habitats. These include reducing the use of pesticides, eliminating habitat destruction, restoring and creating green spaces, preventing the release of invasive species, establishing wildlife corridors for migration routes, re-introducing native species through conservation or breeding programs, planting native trees and flowering shrubs for food and cover in your garden etc. A number of organizations like WWF, Greenpeace or The Nature Conservancy also offer volunteer and paid positions to further work on conservation efforts.

There are many actions one can take to conserve and protect local wildlife in their natural habitat. Some of these actions include reducing the amount of energy used around the home, installing water conserving fixtures such as low-flow toilets and faucets, planting climate-appropriate native plants, removing old concrete or other hard surfaces for yards and landscaping with regional plants species that provide habitat for local wildlife, reducing outdoor lighting or adding LED lights that generate less heat which allows for more diverse species of animals to live in your neighborhood. You could also contact your local fish and game department to find out about regulations regarding hunting which allows some animal populations to remain balanced. Lastly be mindful when driving during peak breeding times when animals may be more likely crossing roads or inhabiting an area making sure not to disturb them too much.
