You Can Choose Which Animal to Protect!
Here at Earth Rangers, we support several wildlife conservation projects every year. That means you get to choose which animal you want to protect! Have a look at our list of amazing animals, and choose the critter you’d like to fundraise for!
Protect Polar Bears in the Arctic
Because of climate change, sea ice in the Arctic is melting. This makes it hard for polar bears to find enough food.
When you raise money for polar bears, you’ll fund research to better protect these beautiful bears.
Protect Wilderness for River Otters
Ontario’s Frontenac Arch is an important habitat for river otters. Unfortunately, invasive plants are growing in this area, which makes it hard for river otters to find food and shelter.
When you raise money for river otters, you’ll fund conservation work to give otters the healthy habitat they deserve!
Preserve Jaguar Habitat in Central America
The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth! Sadly, the jaguars that live there are threatened by illegal hunting and logging.
When you raise money for jaguars, you’ll protect the jaguar’s important forest habitats!
Protect Grasslands for Swift Foxes
Grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems on Earth–and they’re also important habitats for swift foxes!
When you raise money for swift foxes, you’ll fund the creation of more protected areas for them to call home.
Restore Grizzly Bear Habitat in British Columbia!
British Columbia’s Rocky Mountain Trench is so big you can see it from space! It’s home to animals like the grizzly bear.
When you raise money for grizzly bears, you’ll fund conservationwork to make the Rocky Mountain Trench safer for bears and their cubs!
You Can Get Started Right Now!
Starting a fundraiser is easy! Here’s how it works:
- Choose the animal you want to protect and click Start Fundraising.
- Choose which reward you want to earn and set your fundraising goal.
- Create your account. Make sure you have permission from a parent or guardian!
- Create your fundraising page by September 2, 2024. Give your page a name and write a few words about what you’re doing to save animals. Have fun making your page look great!
- Start fundraising! Share your page with your community and ask people to support your fundraiser by making a donation. If you’re collecting money in person, like with a lemonade stand or a bake sale, ask your parent or guardian to donate your earnings on your campaign page.
- Say thank you to your donors with a nice e-mail, phone call, or card!
- Complete your campaign by September 30, 2024 – you won’t be able to fundraise any more after that!
- Claim your rewards! After your campaign is closed, your parent or guardian will receive an e-mail with instructions about how to claim your hard-earned rewards. Once they’ve done that, you’ll receive your rewards in the mail in about 2-4 weeks.
- Give yourself a high five! You took a stand for something you believe in, and you made a real difference. All of us at Earth Rangers thank you for being an animal-saving hero!
