Every individual species plays a unique role in their environment. If we allow them to become endangered, or even to disappear completely, the entire ecosystem around them will suffer. That’s why each and every animal life is important to conservation. ⁠ ⁠ This #NationalWildlife Day and every day, IFAW is committed to telling the stories of individual animals as they fight to survive against ongoing threats like climate change, wildlife crime, human-wildlife conflict and habitat loss. Each rescued animal that we return back to the wild plays a role in creating a connected, healthy system of life. 🌍⁠ ⁠ Do you have a wildlife story that inspired you?
