Poaching & Natural habitat destruction in progress
How
much do we know about the life around us? When we think of life
we imagine all the hustle bustle of city life, but hardly do we
think of the other forms of life that are with us on this earth.
They make our earth beautiful along with the company they give
us. They maintain the natural cycles that give us water, air and
life. Should we just see them get poached and vanish from the
face of the earth?
Should we allow their
natural habitats to be destroyed? We all can help them survive
in an ever-changing world, we can keep this earth beautiful with
their presence. Come, let's help them live in whatever ways that
each one of us is capable of. Does it mean that you have to stay
with them?? Absolutely not! That's just where BEV has come to
help you- helping you help others. Well here we call the animals
others too!! After all they are life and God's creation also!
They have a right
to live and you can show that you care. It doesn't mean you have
to give a million dollars to help; all it needs is any sincere
amount that you can give. And you can be sure that somewhere a
wild animal has said a soft "Thank You"....
.......Now its up to you
to decide. Do you wish to help??.... The animals say "We need
you".
....In this age, where wildlife
habitat is constantly at threat only with your help can we do
something to help.... You donate and be assured that it is being
used for 100% wildlife protection.
So go ahead and make a generous
contribution for the survival of the life that shares our planet
with us....
Every
contribution that you make goes to help the animals in the wild.
Wildlife conservation is one of the aims of BEV. Operating in
South India, with a high diversity of fauna in the surrounding
forests, we do our best to protect wild species in their natural
habitats, Thanks to the contributions of many of you. It's by
your help only that we defend wildlife against threats of
exploitation, habitat loss, poachers and destruction. We
identify the habitat that wildlife needs to survive and we
develop plans, policies and appropriate incentives to care for
those places. So come forward and be generous. And let the eyes
of our coming generation see the beauty of these graceful
animals
We know you are interested and do care, so... Please make a
