What You Can Do to Conserve
Conservation is a word that many people are familiar with, but just don't know what they can do to help conserve. Protecting wildlife and conserving our natural resources are everyone's responsibility. At Northwest Trek, we work hard to be good stewards and environmental citizens, and to let everyone know how they can make a difference in our world. Read about Trek's quest to save the endangered Oregon spotted frog here.  Click here to see how you can join Northwest Trek in their conservation fieldwork.

Why bother?

  1. Habitat Conservation & Preservation is Critical to Species Survival
    Conservation and preservation are both important for habitat protection and species survival. For more information from the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife on species of concern or endangered species, go to the department's web site. For federal listings, check the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
  2. All Things are Interconnected
    How we live our lives has a dramatic and lasting impact on other species and their habitats. In turn, what happens in the world around us can personally affect our health, economic well being, and other aspects of our quality of life. Learn what Trek is doing to help keep nature in balance with conservation activities ranging from our EnviroStar rating to recycling.
  3. Healthy Ecosystems have Value Beyond Dollars and Cents
    We need to come to a greater appreciation and respect for the natural world as it stands without human interaction.
  4. Human Population Growth is the Major Cause of Ecosystem Destruction and Biodiversity Loss
    As the human population continues to grow, pressure increases on the limited (finite) natural resources we all use. In our attempts to meet our basic survival needs (food, water, shelter, etc), ecosystems are destroyed and biodiversity is lost.
