What Can You Do To Help These Animals?

Chafarina Skinks need our help to survive. Sadly, species like reptiles don't get as much publicity as other animal species - such as mammals. The lack of attention on animals like reptiles perhaps makes them even more vulnerable to extinction, because they don't get the same publicity that other animals do.

One way to help Chafarina Skinks is to share this blog post on social media - more publicity for these animals, means that more people will know about their plight. Another way to help Chafariana Skinks is by adopting one.

You can adopt a Skink with World Animal Foundation - here.
