m We are a student conservation group that works to protect wildlife locally and globally. Every
day, more and more species, like the brown bear, the African elephant and the cheetah, become
endangered. As a group, we work on different projects that protect our wonderfulwildlife.
ETI One of our goals is to get local people to join. We organise events with schools and
other local organisations to raise money for the conservation of different nature parks.
t Through our conservation work and events, our members never stop learning about
wildlife. We attend wildlife talks with animal expefts and take smalltrips to forests and mountains
as part of our efforl to stay in touch with the latest information on conservation issues. One of our
most impoftant activities is the improvement of our area by planting more trees and gardens and
cleaning up parks and nature areas.
m Teaching people to respect nature is our main goal. Through our events and
lks, people learn about the importance of wildlife, We also send out a lot of
and visit schools to present the problems wildlife faces today.
