Many creatures roam the world peacefully but many of these  wonderful species are in danger due to the biggest threat to all animals - us humans - but it doesn't have to be like that. Research shows that many endangered animals are endangered or threatened by humans. For example there are fewer than 100 Amur leopards left in the world and only 77 Javan Rhinos. Both of these animals are suffering from habitat loss and poaching.

However not only land animals are almost extinct.  There are less than 20,000 Blue whales that swim the sea, this may seem like a lot but actually it is a tiny amount given how big the oceans are. 800 Whales, dolphins and porpoises are killed each day by bycatch - being caught in fishing gear - and toxins in the ocean but also being hit by boats this should not be allowed because these magnificent creatures - especially whales - are very gentle and friendly to humans and do not deserve to be killed because of us.

To get involved and do your bit to help save the animals and environment, go to the WWF charity which we'll explain about further down the page, come to one of our events or if you aren't local, you could try to walk more instead of driving, because why use a car and continue to break the ozone layer when you can walk and save the animals? Also you can turn lights off in unoccupied rooms and do your bit. Turn taps off and always remember:
