Protecting our home and planet is a duty that we all have to contribute to. By working together, we can preserve our forests, oceans, plains, wildlife, and more. The work done to preserve the natural world is called environmental conservation. The best way to start getting involved with environmental activism is to get outside and start learning about the world around you. This learning can begin right in your home.
Our beautiful planet is full of diverse creatures and ecosystems, but for most of us, it’s impossible to globe-trot and see them all with our own eyes. While you’re waiting for your dream vacation to the tropics or the African savannah, take a virtual field trip! It’s the best way to explore another environment without leaving your house.
Conservation begins at home! Your own backyard or local park is an example of a habitat in your area, home to its own unique mix of birds, bugs, plants, and mammals large and small. Learn about environmental protection by starting with your own home environment. Explore gardening projects, local law that protects your environment, and small things you can do, like composting and installing birdhouses, that can make a big impact.
There’s a lot to learn about the natural world. Learning about climate change and important ecosystems like the rainforest and oceans is a great starting point for becoming an environmental activist.
Citizen scientists are volunteers who help gather data that aids in important studies. Many citizen scientists participate in environmental science projects. Find out how you can get involved, and start making positive change in your area.
Before you take on the world, make sure you’ve made your own home a sustainable and eco-friendly place! There are a lot of things we can all do to reduce waste and limit pollution, from the products we use to finding creative ways to recycle.
There’s a whole world of environmental careers that all play an essential role in preserving our environment. There are scientists, botanists, lawyers who focus on environmental law, politicians who develop environmental policies, green energy specialists, and so much more.
