Letter: You can help the World Wildlife Fund

I believe that the world should be more educated about what happens to endangered species living in their natural habitat. The wild is becoming less and less populated with its native animals. This is a problem that needs to stop.

Additionally, a related event is deforestation. If deforestation doesn’t stop, wild animals will lose their habitat and forests will stop producing vital oxygen which we need to live. The trees in forests provide homes for people and wildlife and also play a big role in maintaining climate change.

Everyone can pitch in a little bit to help. Anyone can donate a tiny amount of money to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Their main purpose is stopping deforestation and reducing the world’s ecological footprint. Any amount helps, and that it is a donation that will help save the lives of thousands of animals.
