Take Action to help animals
Volunteer help with animals, Volunteer Conservation
Animals
need help as never before. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all
there is to be done. So you need to be realistic about what you can
change and achieve for animals, identify what you're willing to do in
your own life & change, and then take action to do it.
There are lots of us who care and want to help animals - especially those animals endangered - and so
questions spring to mind:
- What can I do?
- Where do I start?
- Can I really make a difference?
- What can I do to turn the fortunes of animals
around?
- Which animal to help?
- What about me and my wants and needs?
- What's in the changes I make for me?
One small action by us
means a great deal to them
Kind hearts

| News!
We're so happy to welcome German Shepherd Doyle to our home. Doyle is a rescue dog, and there are hundreds of thousands of dogs world wide needing homes from rescue centres, so please, if you can give a dog a home, consider taking on a rescue. Alternatively, please think about short or long term fostering i.e giving an animal a home on a temporary basis.

| Teach your children well...
So the song goes, & here are some new resources for teachers. Take action to help animals right into the heart of the classroom! Bear Necessities even has an Assembly Plan. Children in India recently took action to help a donkey foal in distress, proving that Educating children about animal welfare works |  | Imagine...80 pounds of elephant poo a day
How
would you like to help pick up elephant poop in Kenya on an elephant
sanctuary (there are other things to do as well) or massage and care
for elephants who've been carrying tourists all day in India? i-to-i have two great new projects for willing volunteers!
Make your holiday count - conservation projects with i-to-i.
Or
why not volunteer for the Elephant Mahout Project in Thailand? Work
with an elephant over the time you're there, learning how to command
your elephant, walk with him or her through the forest, and helping to
shower and feed her. There's more to it than that, but find out about
Responsible Travel's opportunity here and what other travellers thought of it here. From a minimum of one week in duration. |

Chico (pictured left) says.. "Get involved in banning the practice of skinning cats & dogs for their fur in China and more with Animal Saviours. I wanted to tell you about this because my fellow cats & dogs out there need all our help to spread the word, get involved and stop this practice. Read more about it here"

Volunteer on holiday
Why not give some of your holiday up to help animal charities in the places you visit? We enjoyed a morning at an animal charity in Malaga, Spain, and made lots of new friends, 4 paws & two!

Every action counts
Any action you take to help animals is a step in the right direction, however small it may appear to you. And one small step can quickly lead to another.
Better to be here
than taking no action at all
No Action One action Doing 3 or 4 things a year Doing a Lot
Share the load Get
friends, neighbours, family and work colleagues involved. If you get just 1 person to help, you've doubled the number of people
helping animals. It doesn't take much - just a mention over a coffee,
an email, a note in a Christmas card, an invitation to join you at an
event for a fun day out Spread the word about
this site and about what you're doing.
Our Wonderful World
Just take a look at what we're all doing to Earth
- they all impact on the animal kingdom. But there's lots of good stuff happening too and tons of ways to get involved e.g. Build a pond in your garden to help turn the loss of ponds over the last 50 years around. Help the humble British bumblebee
RSPB event a great success at all levels
Find out how the Big School Birdwatch made a big impact in
January 2009. Educating the young pays off. The Big Garden Birdwatch
over a weekend was a great success too - over half a million people
joined in! More...
