Problem: Article: Visit them, spend money there, or volunteer at one.   Teach kids about protecting endangered species.  Many parks have special programs and tours for children. When you travel, consider ecotourism in areas struggling to protect large numbers of endangered species.  For instance, there are plenty of locals in Madagascar, an island nation east of mainland Africa with a unique and fragile ecosystem, who would like to preserve their endangered species; give them a financial incentive to do so. When you visit a national park or simply take a walk in the woods, follow the rules and do simple things to keep the area pristine:  pick up your trash; follow fire regulations; leave flowers, eggs, and even rocks and logs where you find them.  Take only pictures and leave only footprints. There are numerous national and international organizations that work to protect endangered species, and you may also find local organizations in your area.  They might be doing things as simple as weed removal and native planting in the local nature preserve.  Join them, or start a group yourself. If you know someone in this situation, inform them of the benefits of doing so.  If not, join an organization that supports farmers and others in making this choice. They say the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" for a reason.  If you believe endangered species deserve protection for their benefit and ours, let people know.  Increased awareness is the first step toward making positive change.  Contact your elected representatives.  Ask them to support not only legislation that protects endangered species here at home or supports the effort abroad, but also measures to reduce pollution and tackle climate change. Speak out in your community.  Help make fliers.  Talk at a school, library, or community center.  In a friendly but resolute manner, assist people in seeing the bigger picture, how the little things we do (or don't do) impact the whole system, including species endangerment.  Tell them how the loss of species creates a ripple effect that will in some way impact them as well, and not just in what animals they can see at the zoo.
Summary: Support national parks, nature reserves, and wilderness areas that protect endangered animal habitats. Leave nature as you find it. Join a wildlife preservation group. Encourage farmers and large landowners to establish wildlife habitats and leave groves of old trees standing. Join your voice with others and be heard.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The smell of sweat can throw bees and wasps into a frenzy. Make sure you start out your day with clean clothes and a fresh shower to avoid angering these insects. Keep a bandana with you to wipe the sweat off of your face throughout the day. Sweating throughout the day can’t really be avoided, especially if you are working outside. However, starting the day with clean clothes and skin will help you attract less bees and wasps. Bees and wasps instinctively perceive dark colors as a threat. Wear white, tan, cream, or gray clothing as much as possible and avoid black, brown, or red clothes. Bees and wasps see the color red as black, so they perceive it as a threat. Wear long sleeves, pants, a hat, and covered shoes when you go outside to give bees and wasps less areas to sting. If it’s hot out, wear breathable fabrics like cotton to avoid overheating. Make sure you hydrate well when you wear long sleeves and pants so that you don’t overheat. Flowing pants or tops create the perfect environment for bees or wasps to crawl inside toward your skin. Make sure your clothing fits you well and avoid boot cut or flare pants. Try to tuck your shirt into your pants and wear socks with your shoes. If you have long hair, tie it back to avoid trapping bees or wasps. Bees and wasps are attracted to the smell of flowers. If your perfume, cologne, or deodorant smells sweet, these insects could be attracted to your smell and be more likely to fly near you. Use deodorant or perfume that does not smell sweet or like flowers. Bees and wasps are particularly attracted to the sweet scent of bananas.
Summary: Bathe every day and wear clean clothes. Wear light-colored clothing. Put on clothes that cover as much of your body as possible. Wear tight clothes that cling to your body. Avoid wearing scented perfume or deodorant.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you go to an Indian restaurant there are a variety of different dishes that all use the same basic ingredients and technique used in curries. The difference is primarily in thickening agent used:   Korma uses a creamy agent, like coconut milk, yogurt, or cream.  Saag uses greens, usually spinach but sometimes mustard/collard greens.  Madras uses pureed and diced tomato  Vindaloo uses pureed chilies. This technique, used in many restaurants, creates a curry paste of onions, garlic, ginger, and spices, which cooks faster and results in a smoother curry. To make it, use a food processor to grind everything up into a thick paste, then add it to the hot oil after the seeds have crackled. There is no one "curry" recipe out there. Curry is about mixing and matching ingredients using curry cooking technique, as outlined above. Still, to make the most basic, run-of-the-mill curry you would add and cook, in this order:  3 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee (clarified butter) 1/2teaspoon ground cumin seed 1/2teaspoon ground coriander seed 1 medium onion - finely chopped 4 cloves garlic - peeled and sliced 1.5-inch piece ginger - peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, curry powder, salt 2 mild fleshy green chilies - de-seeded and chopped 5 tablespoons tomato puree or 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) concentrated tomato paste mixed with 4 tablespoons water You should add spices generously, tasting and sampling every chance you get. Start with a tablespoon of any of following, adding more or less to fit your preferences:  Cumin (essential) Coriander (essential) Turmeric (essential) Ground chili powder Cardamom Cayenne pepper Cinnamon Curry powder Smoked paprika Garam masala Asafoetida (just a pinch, also called "hing")
Summary:
Understand how different sauces are created. Pulse or blend your ingredients ahead of time for a smoother sauce. Remember that cooking curry is about method, not a specific recipe. Play with the spices you want to add.
