Super Ranger Libby the Recycling Extraordinaire!

Earth Ranger Libby has been a member since 2013. She’s only 10 years old, but she’s already raised nearly $500 for her Bring Back the Wild Campaigns! In 2017 Ranger Libby kickstarted her fundraising efforts by attending a local Canada 150 event, where she held a booth for her Midland Painted Turtles campaign.

Libby is seen telling visitors about the Midland Painted Turtle, and the importance of biodiversity and habitat protection.

Ever dedicated to her cause Ranger Libby went far and wide to spread the word: “Recycle, reduce, reuse!” Most of her campaign donations came from funds raised by collecting bottles and cans and recycling them! By collecting bottles and cans Ranger Libby met her fundraising goals, and helped save animals and their habitats!

Ranger Libby says: “With a strong focus on recycling I was able to successfully reduce my home’s waste by 90%!!!”

On her final note, Super Ranger Libby reminds us of the importance of keystone species in our ecosystems. Each and every one of us depends on something to survive, like food, water and air, but below the surface everything depends on everything else. Our very way of life depends on the ecosystems that support it, just like the animals and organisms in those ecosystems depend on one another. Ranger Libby reminds us that “Every action has a reaction, if we eliminate a species, or abuse a habitat we risk not only losing that ecosystem, but we risk affecting our own lives as humans”.

Ranger Libby says: “We all need one another to survive, that’s why it is so important to protect our ecosystems, habitats, and wildlife”. Whether you focus on recycling, and reducing your household waste, or fundraising for endangered animals you CAN make a difference.

Your actions can change the world!
