Hello everyone!
I am about to appeal to your generous nature! As we all know, many species of animal are endangered because of the often thoughtless actions of humanity. Yet, we are in a privileged position to be able to protect these animals and preserve their habitats.
With that in mind, I am now volunteering for the Atlantic Whale Foundation (AWF) for at least the next 6 months. With your support any donations made will go straight to the AWF to help with their inspirational environmental projects...
Once you’ve finished laughing at my picture, PLEASE read on to know what we’re about. Your generous donation, be it a penny or a pound, will make a difference.
For aspiring conservationists who wish to help by donating their time please go to www.whalenation.org to discover all volunteering opportunities!
So, why should you donate and what would your money go toward? The AWF are an amazing charity that runs some incredible grassroots projects all over the world. They also raise money for other environmental charities. The AWF projects are all about preserving our environment, protecting habitats, endangered species and threatened communities. The main centre of operations is based in Tenerife: · Where one third of all Whale and Dolphin species can be found.
· Volunteers go out on tourist whale watching boats to study the behaviour and population numbers Pilot Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins and Migratory species’.
· Volunteers also promote awareness of the importance of the whale hunting ban which must remain in force to ensure these animals avoid extinction.
New Projects In Sierra Leone the aim is to: · Create a source of income for the community in York Village, based on its wealth of magnificent nature to attract eco-tourism. · There is also the opportunity to work on social, habitat and endangered species projects ranging from Humpback Whales, Primates and a host of rare birds. (http://www.whalenation.org/index.asp?page=sierraleone) There are similar aims in Argentina: · Volunteers can engage in habitat studies of the local wildlife including the Puma, Condor and the Andean Fox.
· The project will also allow volunteers to work on land management, organic farming, cultural studies and eco tourism projects. (http://www.whalenation.org/index.asp?page=argentina)
