    Make A Difference

    MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY TO HELP SECURE A FUTURE FOR WILDLIFE


    Take the Future for Wildlife Pledge

     

    TAKING ACTION IS AS EASY AS A-B-C
     

    ADVOCATE | Use your voice

     

    Advocate for wildlife

    • Communicate to public officials, corporations and other decision/policy makers. Let them know that you care and expect them to help us protect wildlife!

      • Urge Congress to support the 'Wildlife Conservation and Anti-Trafficking Act' - H.R. 864.

      • Support Legislation to Reauthorize the Save Vanishing Species Semipostal Stamp.

    • Personal letters are the most powerful! Find contact info for your representatives in the Senate here, and in the House of Representatives here.

    Spread the Word

    • Share what you’re doing to make a difference for wildlife through social media, and encourage others to join you.

     

    BUY RESPONSIBLY | Use your power as a consumer


    Be a Smart Shopper

    • Never buy wildlife or products made from protected wildlife or their parts - or support vendors who sell them. Encourage others to do the same. Learn more at #BuyInformed.  Help us Stop Wildlife Trafficking.

    • Make a commitment to be a smart shopper and choose certified sustainable products:

    • Download our Sustainable Palm Oil shopping guide to support companies committed to sustainable palm oil.

    • Reduce single-use plastics: bring reusable shopping and produce bags, use your own travel mug at the coffee shop, and skip the straw.

    Recycle your cell phone and other personal electronics

    • Eco-Cell recycles electronics to protect gorilla habitat and support gorilla conservation.

    • Find the secure Eco-Cell collection box in the lobby of the Zoo’s Education building (on your left when you enter the zoo), or set up your own collection drive at your school or workplace!

     

    CONTRIBUTE | Donate resources or your time


    Support wildlife conservation efforts

    • Donate to the Future for Wildlife Fund to support Zoo wildlife conservation efforts.

    • Shop to support wildlife conservation at our Conservation Shop.

    Be part of the solution

    • Be a citizen scientist and help identify camera trap images from Ruaha National Park in Tanzania on Snapshot Ruaha.

    • Look for and report illegal or suspicious activity related to wildlife being kept, sold, or traded - if you see something, say something!
