As the Gulf oil spill gets worse and worse, so do the conditions for the wildlife who are caught up in the mess. If you would like to help but can't physically be there, consider giving a donation to a wildlife organization or some other environmental charity. I have been a member of the National Wildlife Federation for many years, but I donated some extra money in order to help them defray the expenses they are incurring by having to have people down there in the Gulf - especially knowing they will have to be there for many more months!
The National Wildlife Federation is at nwf.org. You could also consider donations to the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) or the Audobon Society.
