There are a lot of ways to protect endangered animals. First, we can learn about endangered species in our area, and we can also teach our friends and family about the wonderful wildlife, birds, fish and plants that live near us. Second, we ought to minimize  our use of herbicides and pesticides. As a matter of fact, herbicides and pesticides are hazardous pollutants that can affect wildlife at many levels. Moreover, reduce our use of water in our home and garden so that animals that live in or near water can have a better chance of survival. Last but not least, don’t dump paint, oil or antifreeze or other chemicals, which pollute the water and can harm people and wildlife. Keep litter and pet waste out of the street drain, which often washes into rivers, lakes or the ocean. To conclude, we should join hands to protect these animals to make the environment better.
