The scorching heat isn’t just killing us, it’s killing our wild neighbors too! While we seek shade and cold drinks, birds, insects, and other animals are fighting for a drop of water and their lives. The Biom association warns that high temperatures and drought create hell for wild animals struggling to find water. But don’t worry, the rescue is in our hands! Place shallow water dishes on balconies, yards, parks — anything that can serve as an oasis for birds and insects. Clay flower saucers are ideal, and water should be filled in the evening so it’s ready for the thirsty in the morning. Make sure the dishes are safe from cats and other predators! Insects, those tiny pollination heroes, also need help — wet leaves and small puddles in the garden can save their lives. Even in an apartment, you can help by placing small dishes with stones for safe landing. Every drop of water can mean the difference between life and death. These small actions not only help animals but connect us with nature and develop a sense of community. If you care about nature, don’t just sit there — act! And if you have a funny or clever trick to help animals in the heat, share it in the comments so we can all laugh and learn something new!
