As I was brainstorming different organizations that I could do for my bio blog when I saw a commercial for an organization called "Earth Rangers". Earth Rangers is a non-profit organization founded by Robert Schad in 1999, that believes in the power and integrity of children to help protect wildlife. The organization is located in Woodbridge, Ontario. Their current project is called "Bring Back the Wild" which is focused on protecting wildlife habitats. For this project Earth Rangers have collaborated with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Canada's leading non-profit land conservation organization.

Humans have had a large negative impact on animals and the environment. Many animals have gone extinct, either due to poaching or hunting of the animal, or destruction of their habitat. But organizations such as Earth Rangers help wildlife while inspiring kids to help protect wildlife and their habitats. The way earth rangers work is by donating to the organization or if there's a certain animal that a ranger is helping, you can help the ranger by sending money to that animals campaign. For instance the goal for the Wolverine campaign is $70, 588. They tell you the conflict that the animal is facing and what the money is going toward. For example the wolverine is being trapped for their fur, if the campaign reaches its goal, they can buy land for wolverines to roam free.

The Earth Rangers also travel to different schools holding environmental demonstrations that educate school kids with hands on activities on whats happening to wildlife and their habitats and what they can do to help these animals. Although humans have caused a lot of harmto our environment, its not to late to follow in the footsteps of others to help save wildlife. What I think about the Earth Rangers is that the are doing a great job in helping save wildlife and their habitats, while at the same time educating Canadian youth about the environment and the dwindling species in Canada. They definitely send a positive message to youth and to all people, about why our environment is important and how much power kids have when they are joined together.
