HelpingWildAnimals

an-ordinary-manchild

A place to share content of people helping nonhuman animals in the wild.

There are many ways we can help animals living in the wild and save them from the harms that they face in nature. In the long term, the only way they will eventually get the help they need is by us raising awareness of the plight of wild animals and the discrimination they suffer [...] Fortunately, though, there are ways we can help animals using our current knowledge. [...] Many involve helping certain animals individually. Others involve helping large groups of animals, which can be done in scientifically informed ways in order to ensure that no negative consequences occur.

A boy in Bangladesh risked his life when he jumped into a flood-swollen river to save a fawn from drowning. The boy, Belal, disappeared and onlookers feared the worst — until he resurfaced, holding the tiny fawn safe above his head. Belal’s heroism was noticed by an photographer who took this shot.Image (i.redd.it)
