Thanks again and remember to support wildlife conservation.
Wildlife groups are not sheltered from the world around us. This economy is hurting all of us, including the wildlife. Sadly the greed and corruption we see harming the economy, you can find in parts of conservation as well. Always look into the groups you are supporting, For instance The Snow Leopard Trust (4 star charity) is a wonderful organization that not only benefits the snow leopards but also the local communities who share the land with them. But for years there was a Siberian Tiger Trust that was nothing more than a woman in Ohio collecting money for her pet lions and tigers, so beware and look into the groups and people you choose to support.
Take care in this crazy world we live in. -Brian

"Now is such an important time to support wildlife conservation. In making this a healthier planet for animals, we in turn make it healthier for us. It also helps us benefit in so many ways. Not only does it help animals from becoming extinct it also helps us. There is so much we still have to learn about the plants and animals we share this planet with. Right now our economy isnt doing to well. We see so many problems due to our greed (ex. Wall Street, Insurance companies, banks, politicians..is greed really worth it?). By setting aside land and protecting it, allows us to do an unselfish act. Bringing in good karma as they say.
And by allowing predators and animals much larger than us to still roam this planet I feel it humbles mankind, which is a good thing to do. Conservation projects often not only help animals, but also those that live amongst them. To think that at the same time you are protecting a rhino you are also helping a child go to school for the first time, is an amazing feeling. The people involved come from all over the world all nationalities, races, religions all coming together to protect our planet. To me it all is a win- win situation. Supporting animal conservation gives my life some meaning. It makes me a better person and hopefully makes this a better planet. Thanks for watching!"
