How can you save endangered animals?

How can you save endangered animals such as wolves or leopards without donating money. I would like to know because I love animals and want to save endangered ones but I just don't have the money to donate!

1. Human sacrifice.
2. Raise awareness and get others to donate for endangered species.
3. It take more than just giving random services money. People need to be educated about why the animals are dying out and are endangered and how the situation can be changed. Some may not have the financial resources to help but you can do things such as volunteering and research to get more information on conservation efforts and educate others that possibly could be able to financially help the cause. It only takes one person to make a difference and influence another and before you know you have millions of people that have the same desire as you.
4. stop the business owner from destroying the habitat they live in. the problem: 1) the business owner hire as few people as possible so they will demand less wage for their family need then use the lack of job to justify destroying the environment. 2) also, with better technology, they are replacing human work with machine.
5. Unfortunately I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done. The drama of civilization must be played out to the bitter end. Many more species will have to pass into extinction before Nature rings down the final curtain. Take solace in the fact that this old rock has been spinning around the sun for a long time and will continue to do so long after our idiotic and self destructive reign has passed. What really frosts my butt is that for 290k of the last 300k years we made out just fine and fit right in the way nature intended. It's just this this last 10k years that we've gone so far down the wrong path I'm afraid there is no getting back in the good graces of the gods. I use the term "gods" euphemistically of course. About the only thing left now is to hope that whatever replaces us at the top of the food chain will be blessed with a bit more sense.
6. The Cloning should be legalized of certain endangered animals.The National Park should be established and the hunting of such animals should be banned.
7. We can save the endangered animals by raising public awareness and prohibiting the hunting places, charging huge sum of money to visit them.
8. Oddly enough there are two things that each of us can do, doesn't cost much money, but does do a lot for habitat and species levels of a number of critters who are and are not on an endangered species list: 1) pick up our own trash 2) pick up other's trash There is a growing body of evidence that a lot of the road (sidewalk, field, and more) trash ends up being moved by wind, water, and other means to bodies of water. As these items enter bodies of water, they start traveling the water ways. Some remain scattered along their paths but, others end up entering harbors then traveling to the seas and even traveling to the oceans. While there is a growing body of evidence of what this trash is doing to our oceans and salt water marine life, it only take a half a brain to realize that a plastic ring can similarly injure an aquatic bird or other wild life somewhere on its journey to the ocean. While there is a growing body of evidence of small particulate and chemical residue left by plastics along our salt water shore lines, it is only common sense that the same is occurring in fields and water ways along its path to our shore lines. There is also a certain amount of power that knowledge gives us. It sounds like you are in school and, typically school types have different demands on their time. Spend that time at the library and on the internet discovering and learning information about environmental, habitat, economic, political, and species specific issues. Don't forget to get a picture of what environmental programs industry is doing, what their issues and concerns are, and more. While out there exploring and learning, do try to remember the programs that are working even if they are only solving a problem on a little quarter acre of land, a couple of acres, or on a grand scale; these are the gems you can pull on, adapt, and use in a whole sort of different situations. In other words, educate yourself. Speaking of education: The "grand solutions" take money, data, and legal/political support. The reality is you will have more capability to support and participate in what ever cause you chose the more economically stable you are. In today's world, this requires an education and diploma or few. If you want to truly be able to work towards environmental solutions, you will need a bit of a math and science background. Even if your work involves listening to a few TV articles, reading through a voter's pamphlet, and going to the poles being able to critically listen, read, and understand the issues and statistics being presented requires either face reading capabilities or a little bit of a math and science background. Another one of the things that you can do is learn your school lessons well, do a little extra homework, take some of the harder classes, ask for some of the harder teachers, and then go to college. Don't worry as much about what to take in college because we need bankers, teachers, economists, mathematicians, engineers, lawyers, accountants, administrators, and more through out the assorted professions who also have at least an understanding of those things environmental. The other things that you can do is look at your daily activities using the 4R's of Reduce, Recycle, Re-use, and Re-purpose while thinking of sustainability as your theme. Building an environmental life style now, a little at a time, is a good thing. Oddly enough, building a personal health, healthy life style is also a good thing; chronic illness is not only personally and financially expensive but, it is also environmentally expensive. Now, while you are economically challenged is also a good time to look around you for creative yet functional Re-use and Re-purposing opportunities; they are so much easier to spot when you simply don't have the money to do else wise. It might also be a good time to learn how to use a paint brush, sewing machine, hammer, drill and screws, etc...
