Save the Tortoise. . . and Money

The article I read was about how more than ninety-three million dollars were spent on saving the endangered species of the tortoise. I think that we should be spending some of this money on the people who need it and should get volunteers to do some of the work for the tortoises. What they have spent is a lot of money and I'm sure they could have found less expensive ways to care for these tortoises. The space they need is certainly a lot. The tortoises seem to be getting more attention, space and money than most humans. It really is wonderful that they want to save the tortoises and I do not blame them but I'm sure there are less expensive ways to solve this. Some ways we could save money is by finding volunteers to take care of them and by finding less expensive land that is still the correct habitat for them and is still a natural habitat for them. The money is not just being spent on the tortoises but for other animals as well. Though we have been spending all this money, some of the animals are still going extinct and are becoming less populated. That means all this money we spent was a waste pretty much. All in all, I think when trying to find a solution for endangered species, we should keep in mind the price and make sure what we are doing will really help.
