animals who live here. To learn more about their amazing work, click on one of the two video

Greetings Jess,
ReplyDeleteYes, you're absolutely correct! The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is working to save freshwater seals but do you know what type of freshwater seal? Here's a clue, their name begins with "S". You have shown good understanding about what the WWF are doing to save these freshwater seals. Why is important that they are making these snow banks for the seals and what happens if there are no snow banks for them? It's amazing what people can achieve when we come together and offer a helping hand, don't you think? There is still plenty of work to be done to ensure that we are able to protect these animals but any efforts made will always be helpful to their well-being. You might be able to find out more information on the outcome of their supportive projects here:
