In as little as 20 years from now, Earth could lose as many as one-fifth of all species known to exist today. Hundreds of species have disappeared almost always as a result of human activities; land development, pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel usage; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demands for skins, hides, medicines, food, and souvenirs. All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet. Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminished. Also, what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well.
WINAWIDI is dedicated to restoring this natural balance in the Southern Indiana area through education, rescue, and rehabilitation
