How To Save The Chinese Sturgeon
 
Recently I went to Ocean Park In Hong Kong island.. there I saw a huge and fantastic living fossil. It was called the Chinese Surgeon. And it was the last one in the world....

What I want to consider is:

-Teenagers like us can actually participate in this case
You can try to save water at home. Though water is precious and you can actually connect this events to United Nation Development Goals.

Though it's not gonna be a big deal to turn your water tap if you don't need it again.

And guys do you have any idea to save our world? Especially this Chinese Surgeon.. they lived in Yangtze river in China long long long time ago...

The Ocean Park team caught them in endangered stage where they research everything to save them...

Facts that I caught:

-Lived for more than 140 million years.

And that's more than enough.

Guys, the kind-hearted guys, help them! Save their environment! Save water~!

Cause if we don't do anything to help, who?
And if it's not now, when?

I think you mean Chinese sturgeon.

A surgeon is a doctor. A sturgeon is a fish.

I'd be willing to save both, if they are at risk.

I suppose you could help by donating to/working with Greenpeace or maybe the Whaleman foundation.

Edit: ok, maybe not the Whaleman foundation

But I found this link, talking about groups that do environmental work in China: http://www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cf...roup_id=150196

You might try the groups that clean the Oceans and protect Sea Life. Green Peace is a pathetic excuse for an Enviromental Group since they refused to help stop the Whalers down in the Antartic.

We can help save water by not drinking Starbucks. They leave their tap on 24/7, which is abso-fuckin-lutely ridiculous.

1. Don't believe everything you see on the Discovery Channel.
2. Ridiculing and judging Greenpeace based one one issue is plain ignorant. You're marginalizing all of the other work they've done.
3. There are legit reasons to dislike Greenpeace, but please, actually bother to do your homework first.

They didn't "refuse to help stop the Whalers down in the Antartic". It was, and is, a difference in opinion with the Sea Shepherds on how it should be handled -- Greenpeace believes in protesting and playing a PR angle, the Shepherds take a more active approach. I don't really agree with Greenpeace as their methods haven't really made any impact, but to accuse them of not doing anything is completely misleading.

And, as Key said, why does their approach to one issue (an issue unrelated to this one, no less) make the rest of their work, and the organization as a whole, worthless?
