Here are some suggestions that we can do to save them:

2. 2. Know where your food comes from.
Many types of seafood are seriously endangered due to overfishing. Monterey Bay Aquarium has developed a seafood watch list which notes a variety of seafood that is in jeopardy and should be avoided and which still exist in sufficient numbers and/or are harvested in a sustainable manner. The effects of palm oil is also having detrimental results with many Indonesian animals including sun bear and orangutan as this "cheap" source of oil used in foods and other products.
3. 3. Learn about issues affecting endangered species.
Visit Association of Zoos and Aquariums-sanctioned zoos and aquariums, and also nature centers and wildlife refuges. Join and become an active member in these organizations. Membership at Woodland Park Zoo, for example, helps supports dozens of conservation projects around the world.
4. 4. Don’t release unwanted “exotic” pets
Don’t release unwanted exotic pets that are not native to the area in which you live. These pets, such as turtles, frogs and snakes, from other parts of the U.S. or the world, often are unsuited to our climate or compete with or prey upon native animals. They may also carry diseases that can infect native.
