Support Strict Zoning—Land use zoning(土地用途分区管制)is one of the few tools the government can use to protect wetlands，natural areas and environmental corridors.Unfortunately，such zoning is often opposed by powerful land developers or political forces.Its important for citizens to show support for zoning to offset these negative pressures. Support Organizations Preserving Rare Properties—Several groups specialize in buying and keeping pieces of important wildlife habitat which are threatened with development. Create Habitat in Your Backyard—You can make your own backyard habitat for wildlife by planting native plants，putting nest boxes in the trees and so on.
