What can you do?

Here are a few ways that you can help save the Hawaiian Monk Seal from extinction.

Keep your distance. Make sure to stay away from any seals that are seen on beaches. Monk Seals come to shore to rest, give birth and raise their pups, so it is important to give them the space to do so. Limiting any and all human interaction is the main way that we can help the species recover.

Give your time, support, or money. These are all ways that can benefit the cause. Monetary donations ensure that recovery plans are actually enforced and help support existing programs.

Another important way you can get involved is to educate yourself and those around you on the issues of climate change and how we can take action to help our world and the species at risk.
