In response to a rapid and growing decline in the population of WWII veterans across the globe, conservationists are now leading the charge to implement long-term, sustainable strategies in order to preserve the struggling group of humans who bravely served in one of the greatest military conflicts in history.

“These veterans are a very important part of our political and social ecosystem,” said conservationist/history buff Peter McCann. “The consequences of letting these brave men vanish from the face of the earth will affect us all, mark my words.”

McCann began spearheading the movement to conserve the population of WWII veterans after they were listed first on “The World’s Most Endangered Demographics” list, a document created by McCann himself.

“We need to do everything we can to preserve our cultural ecosystem exactly how it is right now,” McCann said. “If we wait too long, there will be nothing we can do to reverse this tragic trend.”

McCann is working diligently with other conservationists to preserve the dwindling population of WWII veterans, their methods including the designation of habitat reservations, an expedition to find the Fountain of Youth and passing legislation that would make it illegal for WWII veterans to die.

“People say it’s a non issue, or that we’re wasting our time because eventually everyone dies,” McCann said. “But I refuse to listen to those pessimistic lies. I envision a world where WWII veterans are still alive and kicking hundreds of years from now. All we need to do is find that damn Fountain of Youth.”
