There are a lot of options for a person who wants to get involved in conserving wildlife to do. For instance, you could donate to credible causes. If you do not want to simply donate, there are organizations that donate a portion of their profits to help wildlife conservation. Any company with a "1% for the planet" logo, like the clothing company Patagonia, is a good option. Also, a person should be sure to follow all hunting laws, they are put in place for a reason! If someone wanted to get really involved, they could lobby for change and try to help get environmentally friendly laws passed that help and conserve portions of the world and keep them as they are. People can also help to prevent the destroying of wildlife, such as when a company is logging, drilling, or building upon wildlife lands.

Brainstorming for Proposal Argument
For my proposal argument, I am thinking about writing about the importance of wildlife conservation. The conservation of the planet's wildlife is important because we need clean air and water for our survival and health. Without clean water, we will get sick and without clean air, we could potentially suffer from lung problems like asthma and other serious illnesses. Wildlife conservation is also important to conserve the beauty of the naturally occurring landscape. It will also help to keep the earth diverse, known as biodiversity. This is important because everything in our world is connected by one way or another, for instance, some animals are important for the survival of others, and if a species dies out due to lack of clean air, water, or an adequate natural environment, it could disrupt the food chain and cause harm to another species as well. It is also important to simply protect the plants and animals that occur naturally in the planet's ecosystems. Lastly, conserving wildlife is in the best interest of everyone because it will strengthen the quality of life for humans, plants, and animals alike.

Nobody could disagree that helping the environment is a good thing, but I think one of the main things you should address is why conservation is more important than whatever it is that destroys the environment. For example, if air quality is being sacrificed because of cars, some people may say that it is worth it. If trees are being cut down to provide resources for new homes, then some may say it is worth it. Perhaps you should propose ways to diminish these types of human damage to the environment which in turn will help with conservation.
I believe in wildlife conservation as well. I think it would be a very good proposal argument to write about. One topic that I find very interesting concerning wildlife conservation is the issue of the disappearing frogs in Central America. Many species of frogs in Central America, especially Panama in the rain forests,have become extinct or are now endangered. This is now becoming a widespread concern because frogs are good indicator species. Here at JMU the science departments are also very interested in wildlife conservation as well. For example The biology department is working trying to figure out how to save the frogs disappearing. The Animal Planet network did a special on frogs one night and JMU was featured for aiding in wildlife conservation of the frogs.
I agree with the first comment...I think it's well advertised that the environment is being destroyed, but alot of people are left thinking 'so what'? Not myself in particular, but definately try to at least touch on why the conservation is so important to the wildlife and animals.
