It's no secret that helping others makes us feel good.  Studies show that helping others boosts our own happiness by improving our mood and reducing stress.  This comes from increased feelings of competence and satisfaction, and also a sense of meaning.  People are not the only ones that need help though - kindness and caring can extend beyond our fellow humans.

Our planet needs help, and you can help through conservation.  Conservation comes in many forms:  protecting endangered species and biodiversity, maintaining and restoring habitats, practicing sustainable consumption, and more.  When you help protect nature, you will feel the same joy as helping others.
