Reducing the number of trees that are cut down, taking steps to keep water sources clean, and improving wildfire management can go a long way toward creating safer and more comfortable places for many species to live.
Habitat destruction is among the most common reasons species become endangered or extinct, but many of these situations are at least somewhat preventable. Reducing the number of trees that are cut down, taking steps to keep water sources clean, and improving wildfire management can go a long way toward creating safer and more comfortable places for many species to live. Conservationists have recently found success preserving the wetlands, rivers, and streams home to Alaskan salmon. The Nature Conservancy also makes significant strides in this area.
