Species Survival: Protecting habitats ensures the survival of endangered species and maintains ecological balance. Human Well-being: Preserving animal habitats benefits human well-being by providing recreational opportunities, cultural significance, and natural resources.

How to Combat Habitat Loss. Combat habitat loss in your community by creating a Certified Wildlife Habitat® near your home, school, or business. Plant native plants and put out a water source so that you can provide the food, water, cover, and places to raise young that wildlife need to survive.

Common approaches include reforestation or afforestation, invasive species removal, soil erosion control, and stream rehabilitation. Volunteers, local communities, and conservation organisations often collaborate in the implementation of these projects, working together to restore habitats and promote ecosystem health.

Reduce, reuse, and recycle household items and waste. Pick up all litter and dispose of it in appropriate trash containers. Recycle what you can. Keep surface areas that wash into storm drains clean of pet waste, toxic chemicals, fertilizers, and motor oil.
