1000 Flowers for the Planet - #397 Adopt an Animal
-->
Zoos around the world are doing their best to care for
animals using various avenues. Some are ensuring their animals are housed in
decent cages/surroundings. Many have breeding programs and some do valuable
research into specific species to try to prevent them becoming endangered, or
worse, extinct. Many zoos do not take enough money at the gate to even feed the
animals they have. They need further assistance to ensure their valuable work
continues, and to that end they have programs whereby people can adopt an
animal. This means a financial contribution towards the preservation of the
animal of your choice. Some ideas to head you in the right direction:

or check for options in your own country. As we approach the
New Year and its resolutions, think about adding one more to your list of
resolutions – the support of your favourite animal through an ‘adopt an animal’
program, and help save a threatened species.
