Jovanna is a girl with a passion for protecting animals and their homes! This nature lover has done so much for so many animals, and the American Badger is no exception. We were blown away by Jovanna’s efforts to help the American badger and spread the word about their threats and challenges so we’ve asked her to share her awesome story!

Meet Jovanna

Hi! My name is Jovanna and I am ten years old!

I have loved animals since I was just a baby, especially animals you could keep as a pet. Then, I only had a dog and a cat but now, I have a dog, two cats, two horses Climbing treesand four fish! My passion for critters large and small has developed beyond just pets. Now, I love animals found in the wild just as much. Part of my love for animals comes from having spent so much time on my family’s farm, where I have seen many, many creatures. At the farm, I like skiing, hiking and climbing trees. As a result of all this, I am very connected to nature.

When I found out so many wild animals were endangered, I was very upset. Since then, I have done many fundraisers for animals, including the panda, tiger and polar bear too. I believe that every person should do their part to preserve nature. I feel very, very strongly about that, and so when the opportunity to fundraise for Earth Rangers came up, I was so excited!

I heard about the charity through my friends at school where Earth Rangers had previously visited. They were very impressed with the presentation, so they joined Earth Rangers to protect the Wood Thrush, and Woodland Caribou. They recommended it to me, as well. So, I went on the website and created an account to help save the American Badger.

Wow! I never knew FUN-draising could be so fun! I like playing the games, and reading the blog, but mostly, I love raising money, knowing it’s going to a great charity, and a great cause. I sent out a few e-mails, and the results were remarkable! Lots of the people I contacted donated, and sent e-mails back. They were so supportive! I got so inspired that I wanted to enlighten and empower more people by spreading the word and asking for donations. I did this by visiting my neighbours. I made an information sheet with facts about the American badger’s threats, what donations would help with, and the charity, Earth Rangers. I also included the name and picture of the American Badger. Lots of people were inspired, most donated, and 4 people even created accounts for their own children. By the end of my campaign, I had raised more money than I ever thought I could. It was amazing!

I love Earth Rangers because it is interactive, inspiring, friendly and empowers CHILDREN. I recommend Earth Rangers to anyone who loves animals, and wants to make a difference.

  3. Dear Jovanna,
    Amazing job protecting the world’s animals, I think you are doing an amazing job as being an Earth Ranger, and Pandas are my favorite animal too! 😀 I think its amazing that you want to help a bunch of super terrific animals so that they can stay around for even longer, not many people in my neighborhood wanted to help
    🙁 but I knew I had to keep trying, I didn’t want a bunch of animals leaving us, they were depending on me. And you know what? I think that all the animals who are endangered are saying “Thanks for helping us, Jovanna! We really appreciate it!”
    Keep up the amazing work!
    Emily

  4. Dear Emily,
    Thank you! Pandas are very, cute aren’t they?
    It’s too bad that not a lot of your neighbours didn’t help your campaign, but its amazing that you kept on going!
    I’m glad that you care so much about our wildlife, and I’m sure all of those animals who are thanking me are thanking you just as much!
    Jovanna

  6. Dear Daria
    thank you for asking! If you have done something remarkable to help animals or the environment, you can e-mail Eairth Rangers and ask if you can become a super ranger and share your story. You will have to ask your parents first!

  9. Dear Cabana,
    Thanks! I enjoy helping animals alot, and it is always great to here about people who are interested in helping too. You will see above that i asked my neighbours, which is a great way to get donations. Remember: all it takes is two things:
    Inspiration
    &
    Determination!
    Jovanna
    P.S Its not always easy trying to get parents to get you your pet of choice. (I had to wait years for my dog, and even with that, I had to pay for half of him!) But, like you said, all animals are special and any animal you can have is a great one!
