Pesticides can be deadly to beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, which are essential for pollinating crops and wild plant

Do not use pesticides or toxic chemicals

Trash, especially plastic, poses a major threat to wildlife. Many animals mistake plastic for food and die from suffocation or digestive problems..

Do not leave trash in nature.

Do not buy exotic pets

Do not consume endangered species

Some marine species, such as bluefin tuna and sharks, are on the verge of extinction due to overfishing. Eating these species contributes to the overexploitation of the oceans and the disruption of the marine ecosystem.

Many exotic animals sold as pets are illegally captured from the wild, which reduces their populations and destroys ecosystems.

DON'T

Let's not sit idly by

If we don't raise awareness and take action, we will continue to lose species at an alarming rate.

Placing Bat Houses

Respecting Nesting and Breeding Areas

Every year, during spring and early summer, many animal species enter their breeding season. During this time, birds build their nests, mammals prepare their dens, and other animals care for their young. This period is crucial for the survival of many species, which is why it is essential to avoid disturbing these sensitive areas. Without realising it, activities such as walking off marked trails, getting too close to nests, or making excessive noise can put young animals at risk and negatively impact biodiversity.

Bats are fascinating animals and play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. However, many people either misunderstand them or fear them due to myths and misconceptions. A simple way to support their conservation is by installing bat houses, which provide a safe place for them to rest and reproduce.

Bats are losing their natural habitats due to deforestation and urban expansion. Many people destroy bat shelters out of fear, leaving them without safe places to roost. Installing bat houses in urban and rural areas provides a home for them without them invading rooftops or buildings. It is a simple way to help biodiversity and benefit from their natural pest control and pollination services.

Participating in Beach and River Clean-ups

Using Eco-Friendly Sunscreen in the Sea

Pollution in beaches and rivers is a serious environmental problem that affects aquatic ecosystems and endangers many species. Every year, millions of tonnes of waste, especially plastic, end up in oceans and rivers, causing the death of fish, seabirds, turtles, and other animals that either ingest the waste or become trapped in it. Taking part in beach and river clean-ups is a simple yet effective action to combat this issue. By collecting litter and raising awareness, we help keep these ecosystems clean and protect biodiversity.

When we apply sunscreen at the beach, in rivers, or in the sea, we rarely think about its impact on marine ecosystems. Many sunscreens contain chemicals that harm corals, fish, and other marine species. That’s why choosing an eco-friendly sunscreen is a great way to protect our skin without harming the environment.
