Don't wear animal fur, skins, etc.
Eat less meat and dairy products. This saves more land for wildlife. It also saves the animals from a short-life time of severe cruelty.
Get passed and support laws that ban having exotic animals for pets. This includes: snakes, cats like Bengal tigers, wolves, wolf-dogs, monkeys, gators, etc. Get passed laws that punish those who buy and sell these exotic animals severely. Don't buy these animals.
Do not go to circuses, rodeos, or any entertainment shows that feature live animal acts. Often these animals are severely mistreated in order to "train" them.
If you live / vacation in an area where bears have been spotted you have to remember that bears can smell food from a great distance even if it's locked in a car. So be sure to lock up all food in air-tight containers and put trash in bear-proof cans. The less a bear can smell food the less likely it will be tempted to wonder into campsites / neighborhoods. This also works for wild cats, coyotes, and smaller animals like racoons
Shop cruelty free.
Stop the drilling for oil in places like the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge.
Work towards restoring a balance in our national parks. While deer, elk, and other animals are cute and peaceful looking, they can rapidly destroy an area with their huge appetites for vegetation like grass and shrubs. The best way to balance their numbers is by restoring natural predators like wolves, mountain lions, coyotes, etc. These animals, when given a chance, can balance out the numbers of the vegetation eaters without the need for large man-made hunts.
