In many places\, wildlife faces challenges. Are you a h igh school student with a creative idea for conserving and protecting wild life and its habitat in your community? Planet Connect is offering high sc hool students grants of $1\,000 to implement their problem-solving project s and participate in a local internship focused on wildlife conservation.\ n\nWildlife conservation issues exist all around us—and so do opportunit ies to address these issues. Start paying attention to changes happening i n your community and think outside the box. Wildlife and their habitats ar e not just located in the woods or forested areas—they are in the trees in your backyard\, the shrubs around your school building and everywhere e lse. Ask yourself\, what local wildlife habitats or natural resources are being threatened and by what? What problem is this creating in your commun ity? What can you do to help?\n\nOnce you have focused in on a specific is sue occurring in your community\, think about specific goals for your proj ect\, and the steps you will need to take in order to address the problem. Do you see any opportunities to protect or preserve wildlife habitat? In some cases\, it may require creating a new habitat or perhaps conserving c ertain areas alongside development. Think about what kind of project could be developed to address the issue. Can you think of something that could get your whole community involved? What will the positive impacts be for t he community? Perhaps you could add support and fresh ideas to efforts tha t are already in place.\n\nIn the application you will be asked to create a timeline for implementing your project\, as well as a detailed budget\, describing how you will tackle the problem\, what tools you will use\, who you will work with\, and what positive outcomes you foresee. If chosen as a winner\, you will be provided $500.00 to turn your project idea into re ality. After completing your project in June\, you will participate in an 80-hour wildlife conservation or natural resource internship in your local community during the summer of 2012. At the end of the internship you wil l be awarded a $500.00 stipend.\n\nHere’s your chance to make a differen ce!\n\nSponsored by the National Environmental Education Foundation.\n\nAp ply now!
