    Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and some human activities. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions. Create wildlife­friendly areas in your backyard.

    When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter for the native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Besides, bird or bat houses in your yard or garden can attract and shelter more species.

    Avoid harming the natural ecosystem (生态系统) in your backyard.

    Some plants from other places can kill or harm the native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.

    Have a greener lifestyle.

    By using less water and fewer fuels, you will do good to help protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway if you can, turn off the electric devices when you're not using them, take showers for a shorter time, and keep the temperature in your room at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees in winter.

    Buy products that are friendly to wildlife.

    Don't buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are eager to earn money with them.

    Donate money to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats.

    You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife in your neighborhood, thus promoting their work.
