Join Volunteering Organisations and Help Animal Conservation in Australia Posted by Oceans2earth on December 8th Marshon Lattimore Womens Jersey , 2015
In the face of massive habitat destruction and species loss, what can one ordinary individual do to help animal conservation? The destruction of wildlife is a large and complex problem with deep-seated roots, and it is not uncommon for people, particularly conservationists and environmental activists, to feel so powerless in the face of such a giant. However, every seemingly insignificant thing that people do towards conservation is vitally important in the grand scheme of things, as these small actions add up to huge strides towards wildlife protection over time. Here are ways that you can help animal conservation in Australia and elsewhere in the world:
Protect natural habitats. One of the greatest threats that face many species of wildlife is the widespread damage and destruction of their natural homes. Deforestation, over-grazing, farming, industrial progress and modern developments all contribute to irreversible changes in the environment, ranging from desertification to soil compaction, erosion and climate change. These practices can affect wildlife habitat to the extent of an eliminating animal’s territory, forcing a species to extinction or displacing them to other areas. Protecting wildlife habitats means protecting entire communities of animals. When these natural habitats are kept intact, there is less conservation intervention needed to ensure their survival. Volunteering in parks, reserves, protected lands, and “at risk” locations are one way to help prevent further habitat destruction.Be part of a conservation organisation. There are countless conservation organisations that are working together to ensure the protection of endangered wildlife and habitats. While these organisations and institutions may have varying objectives, they all work towards the common goal of saving species from extinction. Some organisations work to protect small plots of lands for land-based wildlife while others focus on protecting marine life. Many are more political in nature and focus on attempts to establish sound environmental policies by lobbying local, state and federal governments. Depending on your area of interest, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and volunteer. If you are environmentally focused, you will easily find an organisation that works to protect habitats or species in your area. Joining and supporting an organised effort to save wildlife will give you plenty of opportunities to get involved in different programs where you can get your hands dirty and experience action first hand.Engage. Engaging in environmental conservation initiatives in your home town is a great way to support your immediate environment. This can range from recycling and reducing energy consumption, minimising your use of pesticides and herbicides, incorporating native plans in your garden (which attract native birds and animals into your yard to reduce the threat of invasive species) and attending any protests that are aimed to change legislation that protects and favours flora and fauna.

What is the Cheap Way to Make Ebooks?
By Stephen Beck
The advantages of selling information through ebooks should be quite obvious. There are no production costs, no inventory costs and no shipping costs. And information products sell very well on the internet. If you have the solution to their problem, people are very willing to buy immediately and pay a premium.
But how do you write and market an ebook? Well, the focus of this article is more on the actual creation of an ebook, but let me give you a quick run down on how to write a best selling ebook in one month. First, you need to choose a niche and does some keyword research in that niche.
My favorite tool for this is Wordtracker. Wordtracker will give you the number of times a keyword or search term has been searched in the major search engines for the past 120 days. It will then give you the number of competing web sites for that search term. Find a niche that has lots of search terms with high demand and a low number of competing pages, and you will have a great ebook on your hands! Wordtracker is like a free e-book coach.
Your keyword research will tell some of the major topics for your new ebook, but you can also use a survey to fine tune the topics and create an outline for your ebook. Survey monkey is a great way to send a survey to your niche and it is free.
Now that you have a rough outline of your ebook based upon what your niche is telling you, it is time to create your ebook. Your ebook needs to be in a format that EVERYONE can read. Most people do not need professional e-book reader software. They already have the acrobat reader on their computer. So, you need a quick e-book creator that creates PDF files that all computers can read.
There are many PDF programs out there that make for simple e-book creation and fast e-book publishing. Just do a search at TuCows or . I suggest you get one that allows you to create clickable hyper-links in your PDF so that your readers will click on the resources and come back to your site. The free PDF programs do not allow this.
