Look for labels like “cruelty-free,” “eco-friendly,” reef-SAFE (sunscreen), or “organic.” These labels mean that the product was made in a way that is kind to animals and the planet. You can also ask your parents to help you find more information about the products you use.
Fatma wants to know…
How can I tell if a product I’m buying is safe for animals and the environment?
Some animals are endangered because their homes are being destroyed, they are being hunted too much, or they can’t find enough food. We can help them by protecting their habitats, supporting laws that keep them safe, and not buying products that hurt them or their homes.

Why are some animals endangered, and what can we do to help them?
Some animals are pets because they are friendly and like to live with people. They can be trained and are safe to be around, like dogs and cats. Other animals, like lions or tigers, are wild and can be dangerous. They need to live in their natural homes like jungles or forests where they have the space and food they need.
Francisco pondered…
Why are some animals pets and others are not?

What are some simple things I can do to help protect animals & the environment?
Recycling and not littering help keep the environment clean and protect wildlife. Litter can harm animals and pollute water and soil.
Recycling saves resources and energy, reduces pollution, and helps make the Earth a healthier place for everyone.

Why is it important to recycle and not litter?
To work with animals when you grow up, start by learning as much as you can about them. Read books, watch documentaries, and visit zoos or nature centers. Volunteer at animal shelters or wildlife organizations to gain experience. Study biology or animal science in school and consider careers like veterinarian, zookeeper, wildlife biologist, or conservationist. Follow your passion and stay dedicated!

I want to work with animals when I grow up. What's the best way to make that happen?
To learn more about animals, study biology, zoology, and ecology. Biology teaches about animal anatomy and behavior. Zoology focuses on specific animal species and their habitats. Ecology explores how animals interact with their environment. Math and chemistry can help with scientific research, while English and communication skills are useful for writing about and sharing your findings.
