Imagine a world where you would never hear the fearsome roar of a lion or the majestic howl of a wolf.

Imagine a world where you would never witness the astonishing speed of a cheetah, see the magnificent breach of a humpback whale, admire the playfulness of a pod of dolphins, or marvel at the brute strength of an elephant.

Imagine a world where the next generation didn’t know what sea turtles, tigers, polar bears, or orangutans are.

Imagine a world where your favorite animal was wiped from existence.

Imagine a world with no animals.

Ever since I visited the Oregon Zoo in 2014, I have had a fiery passion for animals. As I walked around the animals’ enclosures, marveling at their unique talents and traits, I was deeply saddened that most of these awe-inspiring creatures were at risk of extinction; some of these animals I might never see again if they were not protected. On top of this, I already knew that my favorite animal, the Giant Panda was classified as an endangered species. I didn’t want to imagine a world without panda bears. I didn’t want to picture a world without animals. Right then and there, I was determined to do something and to this day, that passion burns within me.

For the culminating project of my Senior Project class, I decided to fundraise and campaign for endangered animals through WWF. In a way, this is fulfilling for me. I can finally channel my passion into something that I love and speak up for the animals that don’t have a voice to defend themselves. I know that this fundraiser will make a positive impact and help better protect and preserve these animals.

Poaching, illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss, negative reputations, and climate change are some of the real threats that endangered animals are facing today. I know that no one person,  including myself, or group can tackle these challenges by themselves. But, if we work together, we can give these endangered species another chance for survival; we can give these animals hope. We can save these endangered animals!

Please join me in protecting and saving endangered animals by making a donation today.

Thank you so much for donating to my fundraiser; it means the world to me! And I bet if they could, the animals would thank you, too.
