This week I learned how some organizations have taken real steps towards protecting wildlife from climate change, protecting the habitat of waterfowl and other animals.
This week I wrote an article titled Climate Change Effect on Waterfowl, discussing how some hunting and fishing organizations have recognized the threat of climate change on wildlife. These organizations are pushing lawmakers to pass laws limited emissions and other policies on climate change.
I realized that these groups are really getting involved! Without looking into the subject, I wouldn't have thought that hunters and anglers would take the actions that these organizations are taking. I think it's great!
Organizations like Ducks Unlimited have developed specific strategies based on scientific evidence, and partnerships with state and federal agencies like U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Throughout the years, Ducks Unlimited has made such a great impact on re-establishing habitats for waterfowl, returning these animals to a healthy population, that they have become the best in the world at it.
Sometimes I see the climate change or global warming problem has a huge issue. To me, and others like me, it seems so big that I ask, what can I do to make a good impact? I guess I'm overwhelmed at the issue. I've learned that it can be approached, with strategies ready to make an impact.
We all need to approach climate change the way these organizations have, weighing scientific evidence, developing ways we can tangibly approach climate change. Check out one of these organizations, and see how they are doing it. Join their efforts, and make a change, for the good!
