Wild Animals & Birds

Animals are an integral part of the Earth's ecosystem. This section of Earth Caretaker focuses on issues dealing with preserving and helping animals and birds.


"When we return wild animals to nature, we merely return them to what is already theirs. For man cannot give wild animals freedom, they can only take it away."
- Jaques Cousteau
