What Roots & Shoots Members Are Doing For Endangered Species
Around the world, Roots & Shoots members are working on inspiring projects to save endangered species in their communities and beyond:
- Each summer Dry Creek Roots & Shoots (CA, USA) volunteers with SPAWN to rescue endangered Coho salmon and threatened steelheads from drying spawning rivers.
- Save the World Roots & Shoots (MD, USA) built six birdhouses for endangered Eastern bluebirds with the help of a local bird enthusiast. The group continues to monitor and clean the birdhouses.
- D.A.S. R&S (ON, Canada) members sold popsicles in their school and community to raise funds for the protection of panda habitats in China. This project was submitted as a part of the JGI-Canada Campaign: Planet Releaf.
- and more!
