Activities to help protect wildlife
Kids can learn about species like the endangered Blanding's turtle and take action to support their protection through fun crafts!
Wildlife need our help. Species are facing habitat loss, pollution and many other threats. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act is a federal bill that, if passed, would be the most significant piece of wildlife legislation in a generation. The bill would invest in state wildlife action programs to protect those species that are have greatest conservation need.
We can protect wildlife so that future generations inherit an environment rich with biodiversity, but it won’t happen without action. Even young environmentalists can make a difference. Download our coloring book and endangered turtle crafts pages to show your support for protecting wildlife.
