Maybe we could get involved through a letter writing campaign to the Ministry."

"That's a good idea, but I think we also need to educate the public about the problem. The muggle have made great strides in protecting their endangered species by protecting their natural habitats, and also passing harsher laws for poaching and the selling of endangered animal parts on the black market. The muggle scientists also study their endangered species. They capture the individual animals and tag them. Then the muggles study their migration habits and continue to check in the animals. Creating reserves is a good idea, but as Professor Morgan pointed out, you can save only so many creatures in a reserve. We need to make wizards aware of what's happening to endangered magical creature and their habitat. When you get the public fired up, things get better.
