Raising money is, of course, very important. One way you might help do this is to start a recycling program to raise money for the great apes. This can be done on your own, or as part of a group effort. Raising money in this manner helps in several ways, even though it may not be a lot of money. But every little bit counts.
Environmental awareness is an important part of protecting other animals.
If humans become more aware of the need to preserve the environment generally, humans will soon realize that the homes where our cousin great apes and many other animals live are disappearing. This is sad because these remarkable individuals live in families and societies which in some important ways are very much like our own families and societies. You might ask your teacher or your parents if you can do a fund-raising activity as a class or a family project. You can help the great apes and have some fun as well. You can give a talk in your school about The Great Ape Project, and inform others of what the project is about and why they might want to sign the Declaration on Great Apes.
