Earlier, Bored Panda spoke to a member of ‘Help Wildlife,’ a British charity-run advice website, about critters in the wild and what we can do to protect them. According to Sarah from ‘Help Wildlife,’ we ought to do everything in our power not to disturb them in their natural habitat. Her advice applies to all small animals, whether they’re rodents, birds, or frogs.
“To avoid disturbing small animals when in nature, it's best to stick to established pathways where possible. If you see a nest or other animal habitat then only observe from a distance, never try to touch or interfere,” Sarah said that we should avoid interacting with their habitats as much as possible and leave the animals and their homes alone.

Sarah suggested that if you have a dog walking with you, you ought to make sure they’re kept under control so that they don’t disturb or harm wildlife. She added that traffic has “a very big impact” on wildlife of all sizes. “As well as the obvious accidents, roads also divide and reduce their natural territories," she said.
Though, luckily, there are projects like ‘Toads on Roads’ in the UK that help protect these amphibians as they migrate.
"Some forward-thinking countries create wildlife crossings when building new roads these days which can be helpful. Otherwise, the best way to prevent the loss of life is to drive carefully, especially in areas with lots of wildlife or where there is undergrowth at the side of the road which animals may dart out from. If an animal comes into contact with your car then always stop and check on them and try to find them help," Sarah from ‘Help Wildlife’ explained.
