How to help curb India's wildlife crisis
You Can Help
WPSI is already making a significant impact. In some areas the
illegal wildlife trade has virtually been brought to a standstill.
The proven effectiveness of the Society, combined with strong
support from the Government, business communities and environmental
organizations, has brought WPSI to the forefront of the conservation
movement in India.
There are numerous ways you can help save our wildlife:
- Stay Informed
The more aware you are of the
status of India's wildlife and wild places, the more effective you will
be in helping to save it. You can stay informed through the internet,
current journals and the media.
Once you are armed with the knowledge of what is happening to
India's wildlife, take action and spread the word to your friends,
family and community leaders.
- Take Action & Create Awareness
Keeping
yourself informed about the peril of India's wildlife is a great place
to start to make a difference - but to make a real impact - create
awareness in your community and demand changes be made in India and
internationally.
There are numerous things you can do to increase the level of awareness. For example you might:
- Organise an event that educates the public about wildlife
- Research products you consume to ensure they were made sustainably
- Write letters to the editor of a newspaper
- Write letters/petitions to your community leaders
- Write letters/petitions to national and international leaders
- Influential Political people to contact
