Numerous apartment and offices complexes are built around man made lakes, ponds, and water features. Zika virus' entry into America requires planning to slow this disease. Fresh water ponds, streams, trapped bodies of water near rivers, water features, Koi ponds, and man made lakes are breeding grounds for the Aedes mosquito.
Pesticide solutions generate toxins which are environmental and health concerns. They eventually contaminate ground water and land endangering humans and endangered species. The Aedes mosquito problem is spreading in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. Multiple cases are documented by medical authorities and the CDC.
Solar powered water aeration features are the most effective solution to this problem. This eliminates the need for electricity in the area. Moving water prevents the breeding of the carrier of Zika...the Aedes mosquito. Green living improves the mosquito problem, without leaving pollutants and contaminants. The water systems connect with one another. This will prevent toxic run-off and destruction of larger bodies of water.
Man made lakes and water features are located in many office developments, apartment developments, planned cities, city parks, catfish farms, farms, and ranches. Water needs movement to prevent stagnation and pesticide spraying. The increased oxygen transfer rate moves the water diminishing the concern. Several aerators are required to significantly move water in larger man made lakes and ponds. Kasco's Product above relies on electricity, rather than solar energy.
Solar solutions prevent destruction of the water aquifers. There are several manufacturers, but the city government's are spraying pesticides. Longer term solutions must be evaluated immediately.
"Solar powered aeration systems are an attractive alternative to
electricity for environmentally conscious reasons. It can also replace
costly fuel run compressors easing maintenance and operations.
Canadianpond.ca offers solar aeration using the Solar line of products
for a reliable alternative to standard aeration:
CB line is for industrial applications
SB line for residential or smaller applications.

Fully automatic systems are designed to run up to 20 hours per day under standard operating condition.
The battery backup system continues operations under less-than-optimal conditions
Built for both temperate or colder climates
Economical, no additional costs to run
The
Solar systems pay for themselves with time, resulting in an
unbelievable cost savings over electric-powered aeration systems."

The EPA recently lowered water quality by expanding the list of low amounts of chemical additives found in a wide range of manufacturing and industrial firms. This trend surpasses the scope of mining, manufacturing, and energy related issues. It extends to overseas car manufacturing and product production, as factories are relocated abroad with relaxed or non-existent means to protect habitat and water. This goes beyond America's new EPA laws, but they are a great place to examine the seriousness of this issue. The photo above is from Australia. Bad water is clearly an international problem. "When making a “determination” to regulate a contaminant in drinking
water, the law requires that EPA determine whether it meets the
following three criteria:
The contaminant may have an adverse effect on the health of persons;
The contaminant is known to occur or there is substantial
likelihood the contaminant will occur in public water systems with a
frequency and at levels of public health concern;
In the sole judgment of the Administrator, regulation of the
contaminant presents a meaningful opportunity for health risk reductions
for persons served by public water systems."
The above EPA criteria is taken from the EPA.gov website to illustrate one of the key issues for habitat and endangered species. It lacks long-term consideration for wildlife, endangered species, and eco-system protection. This is mandatory for our world to survive and thrive. The success of animal populations support overall life for everyone. Farmers and ranchers are very familiar with this concept. EPA recently included the National Academy of Sciences – National
Research Council and the National Drinking Water Advisory Council in their process to examine and evaluate their water protection process. This process takes too long to not subject animals and humans to harsh and dangerous chemicals which can cause death and cancer. People and animals with underlying diseases do not have the immune system protection needed to defend themselves from the chemical industry. A new dimension to animal protection has entered world politics. The need to demand that world leaders create significant penalties to the destruction of habitat and water supplies for endangered species. The EPA recently relaxed quality standards to allow small levels of five chemicals in the water. The World Wildlife Federation (WWF), Sierra Club, and National Resouce Defense Council (NRDC) must force this high profile problem into the limelight until proper protection for habitat and endangered species is manifest. Water aquifers are under attack. Solar energy is key to fewer toxic chemicals on the planet and slowing global warming. They are not the solution everywhere, but are a great start. There must be an immediate call for home water purification systems around the globe until this situation is reversed. Brita and PUR systems are found at Targets, Publix, Bed Bath and Beyond, Walmart, online, and higher quality systems are available in health stores. They can be used to filter water for pets and animals. Larger versions are available for farms and ranches. Every person makes a difference. It is seldom clear early in tipping points what the exact nature of this difference creates.

The Zika
outbreak is spreading quickly. This impacts many industries working in
the area. Land conservation and habitat restoration require human
workers. They are at risk for Zika virus. Cost will increase restoring
and protecting endangered and threatened land. It is imperative to step
up the restoration money for the areas now prior to the formal
declaration of a “Pandemic Warning” by the CDC in Atlanta.
WWF
and NRDC must recognize the huge impact of Zika on their goal. It
increases health dangers for workers and endangered species. There are
no solutions available at the present moment. It is imperative to focus
attention on this matter and develop options. Creative and aggressive
ideas are key to slowing this situation until a cure is found. CRISPR
gene therapy may solve this disease in the future. In the mean time,
long term health consequences may be staved off with immunotherapy.
How does the government protect citizens from Zika virus without destroying land and ground water table?This issue competes with the stated goal of land conservation and habitat protection for humans and wildlife. Will attempts to prevent Zika virus damage protected habitats and accelerate endangered species problems?
The Zika virus has accelerated its attack in key states including Texas and Florida. As city and state governments research this impending crisis, children die and people continue to be diagnosed with this incurable disease. Most Zika cases are not diagnosed and will never reach the CDC in Atlanta. If the plan of attack is based upon spraying the effected locations with DEET based mosquito sprays, the problem will expand into other areas. DEET is a chemical with neurological side effects and frequently damages motor control. The toxin is absorbed through the skin and stored in fat cells in the body. DEET's listed side effects include skin irritation, disorientation, dizziness, seizures, and death. DEET cannot be utilized over five to nine days without health problems. It causes birth defects.
Duke University pesticide study revealed "With heavy exposure to DEET . . . humans
may experience memory loss, headache, weakness, fatigue, muscle and joint
pain, tremors and shortness of breath." Dr. Abou-Donia with Duke University stated that combined exposure to DEET and permethrin,
a mosquito spray ingredient, contributes to motor deficits, learning problems, and
memory dysfunction. DEET is a pesticide with over 50 years of history. Research is easily found and available in other countries. This environmental toxin negatively impacts the mosquito population, along with humans and animals in the area. DEET is extremely toxic for people with HIV, cancer, diabetes, LUPUS, M.S., kidney disease, severe allergies, heavy metals poisoning, autoimmune diseases, liver cirrhosis, and organ failure of any type. As awareness grows to empty containers of water and remove water catching items from the yards and public areas, many locations are unable to eliminate this threat. Lakes and stagnant areas of water scattered around river beds are almost impossible to protect. Swamps along the Gulf Coast will prove to be breeding grounds for the Zika virus. The green living non-toxic solution includes planting lemon balm, lemongrass, citronella, garlic, catnip,
basil, clove, tea tree, rosemary, marigolds, and lemon geraniums to reduce mosquito populations. These examples of aromatic herbs should be researched as safe mosquito and Zikaprotection.
Planting new trees through reforestation is an ongoing project offered by Seminole based American Power and Gas. Each customer can participate in planting trees to improve their carbon footprint. Clients can directly improve depleted land sheared of native habitat with the Green Tree Initiative.
Clients enrolled in this innovative program receive special
codes from Treecycler,
a service which impacts reforestation projects worldwide. Enter the
Treecycler code on their website and select the location your new seedling tree is planted.
Within the initial three months, you’ll get five codes, then another five
over the next three months, and a final eight over the following six
months. Each code must be redeemed within 60 days. This allows 18 trees in a year to add to the regrowth of American habitat for birds and wildlife. This is a great long-term way to reverse threatened species and save endangered species.

COLUMBUS, OH - During the first two weeks in April,
approximately 257 acres across three of Ohio’s state forests were
planted with more than 182,000 native hardwood tree seedlings as a
result of American Municipal Power Inc.’s (AMP) ongoing reforestation
efforts on reclaimed strip mine land on behalf of its member
communities. The projects are located at Fernwood, Harrison and West
Blue Rock state forests near Steubenville, Cadiz and Zanesville across
eastern Ohio. The project is the result of a joint effort by AMP and the
Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
“This project
furthers AMP’s goal, as guided by our Sustainability Principles, of
reducing our overall emissions profile,” said AMP President and CEO Marc
Gerken. “In addition to strategic investments our members have made in
renewable energy projects, this and the other reforestation efforts are
further offsetting greenhouse gas emissions that are an inevitable part
of a balanced generation portfolio. The partnerships we have created not
only benefit our members, but are improving public space for
generations to come.”
“We are pleased to partner with AMP in this
tree-planting project,” said Robert Boyles, Ohio’s state forester. “Not
only will these plantings provide excellent reclamation for formerly
strip-mined land, but ongoing care for the seedlings and subsequent
sustainable management of the resulting woodlands will provide numerous
benefits for generations to come.”
The project was initiated in
2015 as part of AMP’s continued reforestation efforts across reclaimed
mine land in the Midwest. These projects represent the second phase of
reforestation, which first began in 2010 with the planting of 200 acres
in Columbiana County.
Trees serve as excellent carbon offsets,
and properly documented and certified reforestation is accepted by
international carbon reduction protocols. The species planted at the AMP
project sites include native hardwoods such as oak (bur, chinkapin,
white, northern red and shumard), sycamore, sweetgum, maple, black
cherry and yellow poplar.
AMP continues to work with project
partners to identify future project sites for additional carbon offset
reforestation projects.
In exchange for the value of future
carbon offsets that will eventually be generated by the newly planted
tree seedlings, AMP provides the project management and funding to
execute site preparation and professional planting through contracted
partner Williams Forestry. ODNR retains the ownership of the land and
will be responsible for the sustainable management of the new forest, in
consultation with AMP. Site preparation work and species selection was
coordinated with ODNR and reflects substantial research into reforesting
abandoned mine lands in the Appalachian region.
SpeedyReads.com...other programs for forest replanting are tied to several products including energy and eyeglasses. Sustainable land planning and green living are seldom seen so well integrated into everyday living. This is an ongoing challenge for American industry and the global footprint. These reforestation programs are key for supporting land conservation efforts needed for the survival of endangered and threatened species.
Global ReLeaf 2 is a program which plants trees when eyeglasses are purchased. Visit http://www.americanforests.org to learn more. American Forests planted over 44 million trees in 50 states and 44 countries . A Global
ReLeaf corporate business partnership may benefit your organization. Please contact them directly online.

“No longer can we discount the lives of sensitive and intelligent creatures merely because they assume nonhuman form. The things that make life most precious and blest — courage and daring, conscience and compassion, imagination and originality, fantasy and play — do not belong to our kind alone.” This work is credited to The Souls of Animals by Gary Kowalski.
Is
there a legal basis for anonymity in hunting permits issued across
America on a federal level? It does not appear to be Constitutional in
nature. The extreme aggressiveness of this behavior is reminiscent of
anonymous computer hackers. They are often bored bright men behaving
like petulant children. Investigative journalism did not find unnamed
hunting permits in areas of the USA, outside Florida. Is this a state
awarded gift by the office of the governor or Game and Wildlife
Commissions? How does this concept arrive in our lives?
Trophy
hunting drives large payments to hunt big game. These are usually the
most elegant and noble animals, including tigers, lions, polar bears,
giraffe, and many others. A fine for killing endangered species will not
prohibit this act. People pay $350,000 to hunt endangered species. The
fines for killing and smuggling endangered animals are easily within
reach of the wealthy.
Exotic
game ranching in Texas exposes examples of this illegal behavior, such
as lions along Texas Highway 71 and exotic big cats escaping San Antonio
area exotic game ranches.
It
is time to prohibit anonymous hunting across America. If you want to
hunt, you must identify yourself publicly on the permit. No third party
names or substituted designee hunters allowed for this very important
area of wildlife management and animal protection.
Protecting
America’s future is key to self determination and defining our role in
the world. Animals must be protected at home and abroad. It is time for activists to step forward and protect our amazing wildlife.
Leo DiCaprio’s foundation
recently raised $40 million dollars to preserve and save the
environment with help from Elton John and Prince Albert of Monoco. Two
private music concerts with Elton John
were sold for $3m and two arctic expeditions with Prince Albert II of
Monaco sold for $1.6m. He also won the SAG Inspiration Award for 2015.

Florida allows hunting in 161 state parks.
These are large and small. How did this happen? Many states have looser
policy guidelines and function more independently than others. State
rights do not become bargaining chips where top state leadership is
strong. Each state has separate and unique animal populations which are
either hunted or protected. The governors run their own budgets and make
large and small decisions, including local wildlife population
management through in-state hunting programs.
What
drives some animals into protected status, while others are turned into
food items or dog food sold at public venues? Public behavior drives
outcomes. Turtle meat is purchased for stew, gumbo and soups. Meat from Turtles, Yak, Buffalo, Bison, Ostrich, Kangaroo, zebra, lion, Llama, bear, bobcat, flamingo, lynx, black bear, Elk, and Alligator is marketed internationally online. Bear meat is sold online in 2015. Black bear meat
is found online for about $150 per pound. Flamingo meat cost
approximately $5000 plus shipping. Zebra is sold for $300 per steak.
Lions raised in America are offered for about $500/lb.
What
prevents any endangered animal from joining this select group of dead
animals for high end luxury restaurants and villas? How do the
environmental powerhouses interact in the sale on these meats and what
causes citizens to fight this practice? Eating any endangered or
threatened species impacts its long-term survival rates.
Additional legislation is needed in Florida to outlaw private bear farms and bear ranching. It
seems reasonable to enact legislation which permanently prevents the
creation of meat markets like ground bear or bear dog food if the bear
population become significantly larger. This is also true for native
turtles. Key legal changes made in tandem with outlawing the hunting of the Florida black bear is a great move in the right direction.
Oklahoma and Montana have large buffalo populations. Thousands
of protected buffalo populate the National Bison Range in the Flathead
Valley of Montana, the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in
southwest Oklahoma, the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge in
northern Nebraska, Sullys Hill National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern
North Dakota, and Walnut Creek National Wildlife Refuge in central Iowa. These are amazing and worthy of the same protection given to endangered species. Private buffalo ranching delivers buffalo meat to Whole Foods and Central Market grocery chains.
Florida has black bears, owls, eagles and big cats. Hunting policy for Florida does not differentiate among parks located near construction or highly populated areas. The
critical element of safety for animals and humans is missing for some
parks. This is not a highly desirable issue and very easy to solve.
Mayors in Florida can outlaw and restrict hunting in their territory.
Florida
state parks are highly trafficked crown jewels of Florida which must
have protection from this poor use of public property. Florida state
parks are often beautiful waterfront areas and easy to access.
Hillsborough County houses seven state parks including Fort Foster State
Park, Alafia River State Park, Egmont Key State Park, Hillsborough
River State Park, Little Manatee River State Park, Skyway Fishing Pier
State Park, and Ibor City Museum State Park. Pinellas County has
Honeymoon Island State Park.
Florida
is the nature state and sunshine state. How is it possible to issue
hunting permits authorized for use in Florida state parks including a
local area Museum park?
Do major wildlife protection organizations have a role in local animal protection? Is Florida less important than the wilderness areas of Africa or Australia? What drives a major wildlife protection organization like The Nature Conservancy,The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Sierra Club, or The World Wildlife Federation into an area?
The
NRDC houses lawyers. The WWF and NRDC could form a seamless duo to
legislate new laws forcing stronger path for exotic animal protection.
The
Speak Up Wekiva group filed a lawsuit in Leon County challenging the
constitutionality of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission-approved bear hunt. Conservation
groups including The Sierra Club attempted to prevent the 2015 Black
Bear Hunt in Florida without the expertise needed to stop the event.
This lawsuit requested reversal of the return of bear hunting in
Florida and to halt the pending sale of bear-hunting permits. This did
not stop the hunt or prevent a future hunt for 2016.
Can
these organizations envision the problems associated with hunting
endangered and threatened animals in highly populated counties? The 2016 Florida Black Bear hunt has been postponed. Public action changes outcomes. Get involved.

The National Wildlife Federation outlines several steps needed to protect endangered species including:
• Defending and strengthening the Endangered Species Act
• Holding federal agencies and state authorities accountable
• Advocate for increased funding and private landowner incentives for land conservation trusts, land acquisition, and land swaps
• Protecting and restoring the natural habitat
• Reducing threats to wildlife like hunting, construction, and invasive species which threaten their survival
Many people look and miss the trees for the forest.
Land conservation and animal protectionism is difficult work. Wealthy
people may not endorse this belief and enjoy the sporting element of
slaughtering protected animals.
Creating a better world is a long term commitment. Animals cannot speak for themselves.
Grown-ups must assess danger and take bold steps to create a path for survival for our endangered species. This includes supporting local grass roots efforts needed to protect habitat and increase land conservation areas. High quality water is needed to support endangered animals. Recent EPA changes make this more expensive in the future. Clean up money is needed for local rivers and streams prior to the destruction of local Eco systems.
How is it possible to walk this harsh path forward when the universe has many hidden snares and snipers?
Sir Walter Scott left us with over 26 books and many amazing quotes:
“All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in
their own education.” Each person can impact the world in ways that
cannot be imagined. Widen the education of each person to enhance
contributions. The world has many options to improve the fate of
endangered species.
The North American Bear Center
works to conserve habitat, stop poaching, rehabilitate injured and
orphaned bears, and reduce human and bear conflict. Organizations like
the North American Bear Center team with the Endangered Species Act,
federal agencies, and state wildlife officers to create a platform of
black bear protection.
State
Wildlife Plans must uphold and endorse the creation of sufficient
habitat and protect it from global warming and lower carbon footprints
to sustain long term survival. The humankind focus must protect
this group to ensure its own survival. This does not mean one world
order. Everyone does their part and carries their share of the load as
the world moves ahead with new challenges. How much commitment is
required to to attain another outcome? Duty requires investigation of
the opponent’s goals?
The legacy for America and Canada must be to protect the assets of North America including endangered species.The World Wildlife Federation,
land conservation organizations, and foundations involved with global
endangered species protection must select key leadership roles with this
goal in mind.
Silvia Earle
and Leo DiCaprio are well known international environmentalists with
many roles in global climate control and protecting marine and wildlife
endangered species. They are both excellent role models for endangered
species education, commitment, involvement, and leadership.
DOES YOUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE INCLUDE OCEANS, RIVERS, AND STREAMS? NOAA works to protect the oceans and sea life. The looming
problem of water pollution is so large that NOAA cannot manage this task
alone. NOAA or The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
monitors the conditions of the oceans and atmosphere.
NOAA
is a role model for the best protection available for our oceans.
Raising awareness is key to successfully managing this key issue for
future generations. Florida offices include St. Petersburg, Port Orange,
and Miami. Film and TV are great channels to attract attention to
protecting the ocean.
The Blue Ocean Film Festival
raises the profile of water and ocean pollution through its annual
festival spotlighting Indie producers interested in saving our water
animals, coral reefs, and oceans. The film festival’s home office is
based in the beautiful beach town of St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Blue Ocean Film Festival group pulls support from NOAA and Europe to focus attention on the importance of saving ocean life prior to extinction. Producers
and filmmakers are engaged in promoting films which highlight the local
beach attach by the BP Oil spill and its clean up. Its films are often
amazing insights into the huge problems created for marine life by
pollution.
Protecting
the water quality and wildlife is a long-term goal which rewards
society by increasing the quality of life for tourists, locals, and
wildlife.
Protecting
the ocean is problematic due to the many international
parties controlling interconnected bodies of water. India and Asia may have a different set of goals for the
oceans than the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The cultural differences create
demands for marine products, which are protected under the Endangered
Species Act. Protection of marine life is culturally very different
around the globe, due to the reliance by many countries’ economies on
the products harvested from the ocean.
World
oceans are under attack from plastic. Plastic bottle tops, plastic
grocery store bags, plastic coke bottles, plastic 6-pack ring holders,
and many other dangerous forms of plastic. Medical wastes disposed into
the oceans, along with raw sewage reduce water quality and lower the
life span of marine life.
Progress starts with cleaning up the mess and preventing
destructive ocean practices. The ocean’s failing water quality is increased levels of CO2 attacking the coral reefs and acidifying the water. Global climate changes driven by increasing CO2 impact air and water. As
ocean floor habitat fails, marine life lacks food and protection. One
reason that acidity levels continue to increase is the nuclear waste
entering the ocean as coastal nuclear facilities are hit by typhoons and
hurricanes.
Our turtles, dolphins, penguins, whales, and sharks are ingesting the shredded plastic as food.
It is an indigestible product which eventually results in their
premature death. This impacts the food chain and impacts available food
harvested from the ocean for human consumption. The amount of seafood
available for professional fishing is reduced.
Governor Rick Scott is the watchdog for the state of Florida
for plastic and oil pollution. These toxins shorten animal and marine
life. This endangers the beaches and water quality which impacts
Florida’s huge tourism industry. Tourist income depends on beautiful beaches and a crystal blue ocean. Annual
visitors enjoy America's best beaches in
Clearwater and Saint Petersburg. Protection of Florida’s ocean and
beaches is required to sustain the return travel by annual guests.

A novel new technology has emerged in Japan. Animals have been cloned from nuclear transfer of genetic material/stem cells derived from urine.
New techniques for nuclear transfer can save extinct species and the
rescue of endangered species. Cloned animals may now be created with
stem cells resulting in clones very similar to donor animals except for
the DNA.
Technology speeds ahead to help us save our world and many endangered species. This
breaking news from the research team of Yasuhide Ohinata, Eiji
Mizutani, Teruhiko Wakayama, Kohei Torikai, Sotoshi Kishigami. and
Sayaka Wakayama was published in April 2016.
This
technique can be recreated to save endangered species through the use
of urine of animals secluded in endangered animal compounds around the
globe. It is expensive, but would make it much easier to relocate the
species around the globe. The transfer of vials of stem cells should be
much more affordable than large animals. The
urine may also be shipped cross country and the stem cells can be
harvested in another lab. It often takes $25,000 to $50,000 to transport
endangered species, but the cost to transport urine vials is minimal.
The advantage, other than cost for urine harvested stem cells, is the lack of tissue removal from the animal. The interaction and potential trauma to animals and humans is reduced.

Endangered
animal status is a nexus point which often escapes the attention of
intelligent people until the situation is degraded beyond repair.
It may be due to the poverty of a region, lack of environmental
protection laws, pollution, failure of residents to value non-human
life, or abuse of power by land developers.
Animal
extinction occurs when humans fail to meet their obligations and
duties. It is our obligation as citizens of Florida to create a
protected space for Florida black bears to prosper.
Florida
black bears emerge at the cross-roads of endangered species and
shrinking habitat due to commercial and residential development.
Business progress pushes animals into secondary habitat and often
eliminates the normal living environment.
Land
acquisition may not always support threatened animals, if acquisitions
are made in destroyed habitat. Animals may leave the area
and make long trips of 500 miles or more. This is the plight
of the Florida black bear. An amazing PBS special shown over the
holidays filmed Florida black bears “on the lamb” as they “escaped the
law” and their fences to pursue other options.
Our
oceans and forests are increasing invaded by chemicals, pollutants,
commercial development and other elements which challenge our ecosystem
and its wildlife. Ocean pollution is identified as a third world country
issues: it is not. Federal budgets are under fire. Social security and
medicare trump environmental causes at budget time. State rather than
federal funding is key to the best habitat protection. Foundations and
non-profits may use their money to enforce existing laws and mount
effective legal battles or maneuvers to protect wildlife habitat.
The
existing statistically significant variance for Florida black bear
count numbers found in recent reports builds a strong case for an
endangered status. The death of cubs after the death of mother bears in
annual hunts increases the actual Florida black bear loss by one-third
or more.
Normal
defenses for threatened and endangered animals include news and media
outlets, investigative journalism, lawsuits, and groups like The Sierra
Club, Human Society, and green groups. When these forces unite to fight
to defend a species and fail, the call to duty is obvious. Lawsuits and
investigative journalism did not protect our little friends.
Leaders
must step forward to create protective measures for our animal and
environmental resources. This situation is the Florida black bears in
2015.
Leo DiCaprio
is a well-liked environmentalist and animal rights activist. His 2015
golden globe win for a film about bears and their harsh habitat makes
him the natural choice.
Big law firms and the NRDC are
required to push back in extreme situations. This should not shock the
general population. Hunting for sport and food has been common in North
America for hundreds of years. WWF is another major group defending threatened animals and their habitat around the globe. It
is clear that a single organization will not win the fight to build a
permanent safety net for our animals and wildlife. Teamwork is needed to
win this effort.
