An orphanage-cum-rescue centre for young animals, a digital snake database and a photography competition for the best ‘comic’ animal picture... Here are some wildlife heroes who are going about animal conservation in a unique way
First off, just want to say WE’VE MADE THE 1 YEAR MARK! I can’t believe another semester has just come and gone and I can’t wait to see what next year has in store for us! I love you guys.
Anyways, because I LOVE animals, this week’s post includes stories from all around the world of people (regular joes) stepping up to the plate and taking initiative to play a part in animal conservation and wildlife education. It’s so cool to see al these great things done by people who took it upon themselves to make this world a better place. Close to 50,000 people die in India every year due to snake bites, (according to the article), and one man decided to start an online snake database to educate people on ways to spot snakes, methods to deal with bites, and raise awareness of the rescue centers nearby. This is just one of the examples outlined in the article and the others are also great examples of people have done more than what has been asked of them to make this world a better place. I think a big part of being a leader is definitely being able to think outside the box. Constantly having the “other’s” needs in mind (whether it’s animals, your friends, or community members) and trying to think of creative and innovative ways to achieve your goals is just another way to be an everyday leader.
