You may be asking yourself “What do all of these animals have in common”? The recent 2016 endangered species list came out and they were who made the top ten. The African Elephants, Panda Bears, and Blue Whales are still at a risk as well, but they were no longer on the top ten list. They are not as big of a high risk for endangerment because their voices have been heard. People helped put their lives in the spotlight and now there are many worldwide funds for them. Here are links to some of their funds.

Now it’s the guys that you learned about up above turn to be saved. The next time go to throw your empty trash out the window of your car, please don’t. There are viral videos like this one displaying what our trash is doing to these poor animals.

Animals share this beautiful planet with us; they have emotions, families and a right to live on this earth safely just as much as we do. Nothing is more disheartening than seeing animals that are being mistreated, animals losing their habitats with no plan alternate habitat. These animals are special to our earth they deserve to live much longer than the time they are said to have left. This is not me telling you to give all of your money to animal funds, but next time you see a plastic bag flying around in a parking lot throw it out. Spend a Saturday afternoon volunteering for an animal shelter, or collecting goods for them through your job. The animals on the endangered species list are not the only ones in need of attention all animals deserve to be treated fairly. Below is the website where you can learn more on how to protect nature’s fury friends.
