A Many animal species are endangered and could become extinct. Every year, people
donate money to help protect these species. However, often the money is just to protect
the big, well-known animals like tigers or whales. But what about animals that are not
big or popular? Would you give money to help save a rare kind of rat, or an ugly fish, for
example? These animals may not look attractive, but often they are important for the
environment.
B Bats, snakes, and spiders are a good example of this. These animals can seem scary (we
often see them in horror movies, for example), so it's hard to convince people to donate
money to help them. They can also seem a bit disgusting because of the way they move
around, as well as the things they eat. Unfortunately, some kinds of bats, snakes, and
spiders are becoming rare because of human activity. If they disappear, it will be bad for
the natural world, and also for us, because they help to keep the food we grow free of
C
insects.
The people who work for the EDGE program are trying to save unpopular species like
these. Like other conservation groups, EDGE collects money to protect all kinds of rare
animals. Since their website shows less popular animals like bats and rats at the top of
the page, people see them first. When people click on the pictures, they not only learn
why these animals are in danger, but also why these animals are important. When
people understand why they need protection, they are more willing to donate money to
try and help save them.
