The purpose of this wildlife conservation magazine is to spread the word about wildlife conservation and let people know how serious it really is. There are thousands of animals going extinct and people need to be aware of this so they can help prevent this horrible thing from happening. The pages that are included in this magazine are:

· What’s Going On?

On each page there will be various information relating to the appropriate topic. The audience that this website is going to benefit would be other people that are interested in helping to save animals and wildlife conservation, and other people that already belong to a society that helps protect the wildlife already.
