People all over the world are working to help save endangered animals from extinction.
There are conservation organizations which try to make people aware of the problems facing
wild animals. Some of the ways in which they are being saved include habitat protection,
setting up nature reserves and parks and using alternative products in place of products from
rare animals. Governments can help by making international agreements between countries
to protect animals many countries, for example, have agreed to stop
hunting the blue whale and their habitats. There has been agreement from a number of
countries in June 2010 to protect the rainforests and prevent logging.
