Happy Earth Day! 🌍 Caring for our planet also includes caring for the incredible creatures that we share it with. Here are 6 easy things YOU can do to be a better friend to wildlife and to our earth ⬇️ 1) Reduce single-use plastics 🥤 Plastic pollution harms birds, marine life, and even land animals. Reuse, refill, and say no to that plastic straw! 2) Plant native plants 🌿 Native species provide food and shelter to local wildlife—and they’re low maintenance too! 3) Stay on marked trails 🐕 Stay on trails and keep pets leashed in natural areas to avoid disturbing nests, burrows, and native critters. Be sure to pick up after your pets! 4) Respect marine life 🌊 No touching, no chasing! Give turtles, seals, and dolphins their space—it’s their home after all. 5) Support clean water 🚿 Use reef-safe sunscreen, pick up pet waste, and avoid harmful chemicals that can run off into waterways and oceans. 6) Speak up 📢 Support policies that protect natural habitats and follow conservation organizations to learn more! #advancewildlifeeducation #wildlifeeducation #wildlife #coloringbooks #olelohawaii #conservation #nationalwildlife #biodiversity #wildlifebiologist #wildlife #biology #educationaltoys #hawaiianlanguage #science #animals #wildlifephotography #explore #education #fun #earthday
