Grandpa's FREE Learn Stuff Pages

Conservation And Ecology

Learn Stuff Picture-Shhhh, We're learning About Conservation & Ecology! Learn about the many websites dedicated to conservation and ecology and how you can help.

This page has information links to endangered species, places, and sites with general ecology and conservation information.

We tried to choose sites that did not try to scare you into helping. We found sites that were more proactive than reactive. Mother Theresa was quoted as saying something like "I will not attend your anti-war rally, but if you have a peace rally, I will be there". She understood the power of love and intention. Anti, or fighting against only creates MORE of that thing you don't want. We want to be more helping towards something not fighting against. It can create wonderful momentum and is a much smoother ride towards what we want.

If you are interested in having your special cause placed on our site, you can contact us.

We hope you will enjoy learning about some of these places and the magic that can be lost so easily. Please help to support any of the sites that you feel guided to. You can make a difference, if you choose. If you cannot help with money, but still want to help, just pass the word along to help people become more aware of your special cause. This will help immensely. You tell 2 people, and they tell 2 people, and so on....

To visit any of these conservation sites, just click on a banner, or on the text link below it. All of these links will leave Grandpa's General Store and are marked (OS) for offsite. This is true for all of the newer pages, at Grandpa's. The links will open a new tab or window.

The International Otter Survival Fund

The International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF) is one of the world's leading otter charities. In the UK IOSF is the only charity solely dedicated to the conservation, protection and care of otters based on years of scientific research in the UK and around the world.

The Rain Forest Trust

In 1988, three visionary conservationists had a bold plan: to purchase and protect threatened rainforests and save endangered wildlife through community engagement and local partnerships. Their vision became Rainforest Trust. And 30 years later, our mission remains the same.

With every acre, we’ve grown in scale, scope and determination. We’ve already helped protect over 20 million acres around the world and have millions of acres in the pipeline.

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law, and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters, and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.
