In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: All types of animals, from birds to deer to insects, have lost some of their habitat to human developments. You've probably seen birds bathing in oil-tainted water and deer wandering through suburbs because they have nowhere else to go. If you have space, try to be welcoming to animals who could use a helping hand. You can make your property hospitable in the following ways: Plant shrubs, flowers, and trees that attract wildlife. Put out a bird feeder and birdbath stocked with clean food and water. Let beneficial snakes, spiders, bees, bats, and other creatures live. Having these animals around is a sign your ecosystem is in good health. Install a beehive if you have the room. Use cedar chips or aromatic herbs instead of mothballs. Don't use chemical pesticides. Use humane traps instead of rat and mouse poisons and insect killers. Use an electric or manual lawnmower instead of a gas-powered one. If you hunt deer, squirrels, or other animals for their meat, respect the animals whose lives have been ended for your nutritional sustenance. Do not let any of the meat go to waste. Not only does this reduce the number of greenhouse emissions, but it also respects animals. Did you know that globally 3 billion animals are killed in industrial farms every day? The easiest way to respect animals worldwide is to have a meatless diet. If you are buying eggs opt for cage-free and certified humane and organic eggs. Make sure the eggs you are buying have the Certified Humane stamp on the carton. (The stamp is a rectangle with blue text at the top reading "Certified Humane". There are green hills at the bottom that have white text reading "Raised and Handled".) Brands of cage-free and certified human eggs include Nellie's and Vital Farms. These can be found at most grocery stores, but especially Whole Foods. The oceans are being depleted of large fish populations due to overfishing and pollution. Up to 90 percent of the ocean's large fish are now gone. You can do your part to protect marine life by only eating fish that is in season and caught using sustainable practices Many animals that are thought of as pests are not causing real harm. Other animals that live in wild places aren't usually in the human view, so we tend to forget about their needs. With dozens of animal species going extinct every day, they need all the help they can get. Try being more mindful in the following ways: Let creatures like moles and groundhogs live instead of trapping and killing them. They may cause a little inconvenience in your garden, but they have a part to play in your region's ecosystem. Don't disturb wild places like forests, beaches, wetlands and other areas where animals make their homes. When you visit such areas, stay on trails so you don't accidentally cause damage to an animal's habitat. If you have a cat that goes in and out of doors, try to keep them with you. This means if you are inside, keep the cat inside. If you are outside, take the cat outside. Regulate your cat's location because our feline friends are the leading cause of death for billions of small animals. Of course, it is natural for cats to kill mice, birds, and etc., so don't punish them if they do so, just try to be more aware of the small wildlife around your house, especially if there are any endangered species. You can also help ebb cats' killings by working with local animal shelters to get feral cats off the streets. Never punish your cat for killing an animal, its part of their natural instincts. If your cat is an outdoor cat, consult this article if you want them to be an indoor cat. Whether there's a particular type of animal you want to work to save, or you'd like to work for the health of all of the planet's endangered species, there's an animal rights group out there that could use your energy and time.
Summary: Make your property a haven for wildlife. Try a vegetarian, pescetarian, or vegan diet. Eat sustainably-caught fish. Respect animals. Regulate your pets. Work to protect animal habitats.
