Protect Wildlife Habitat Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Deforestation, farming, over-grazing（放牧） and development all result in irreversible changessoil compaction, erosion, desertification, and alteration of local climatic conditions. Such land use practices vastly alter or even eliminate wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species are present, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together and when communities are kept intact（完美无损）, less conservation intervention is required to ensure species survival. Parks, reserves, and other protected lands are too often the only habitats left untouched by habitat destruction. 2. Join a Conservation Organization There is a wide range of conservation organizations working to protect endangered animals and habitats. Different organizations have different objectivessome work to protect a small plot of land or to protect whales, others focus on establishing good environmental policies in 2 local government. If you have a specific area of interest, you can often find an organization that is working to protect the species or habitats youre most concerned about. By joining in, you can support well-organized, ongoing efforts to protect species and habitats. And if you want to participate in conservation field work, you can often get involved in specific programs within many conservation organizations that rely to a great extent on help from volunteers. 3. Minimize use of Herbicides and Pesticides Herbicides(除草剂) and pesticides（杀虫剂） may keep yards looking nice but they are in fact hazardous pollutants that affect wildlife at many levels. Many herbicides and pesticides take a long time to degrade and build up in the soils or throughout the food chain. Some groups of animals such as amphibians（两栖动物） are particularly vulnerable（脆弱的） to these chemical pollutants and suffer greatly as a result of the high levels of herbicides and pesticides in their habitat. 4. Voice Your Concerns and Get Involved Locally By letting local and national governments know that youre concerned about endangered species, youre increasing the likelihood that someone will do something about it.
