The aim of this blog is to disseminate information on animal shelters and, in particular, animal orphanages throughout the world of vulnerable and endangered species, and get support from donors and volunteers to those shelters and orphanages. This blog is strictly non-commercial and advocates the ban on hunting and any form of unnecessary or cruel form of animal exploitation, as well as the preservation of the world's habitats and eco-systems

Starting the project
I've started this blog after hearing the news of the catch of fur seals being resumed in Canada. This topic was also the subject of the March issue of National Geographic, which revealed an increase of the number in the catch of harp seals. You can join their forum here. On November 20, 2003, US Senator Carl Levin introduced a bipartisan resolution calling on Canada to end the commercial seal hunt. Follow this link to Take Action to stop the seal hunt.
Seals deserve our urgent attention, but it might also not be a bad idea to start with an overview of the endangered or threatened species. I confess my special fondness for monkeys, but you may have other animals closer to your heart. Seals, whales and dolphins usually rank among the most popular, but out there are a lot of animals - some even unknown to you - that may spark your attention and trigger your (most needed...) willingness to help. The IUCN published a Red List of Threatened Species. Have a look at it and see if you can find your 'own' special animal. Then get back to me and I'll see what organisations are out there who may help.
