There are hundreds of wildlife species like lions, crocodiles, rhinoceros present in the forest. They usually get hunted for their skins, nails, horns and meat. Skins are used for manufacturing clothes, ropes and many useful items. Human beings kill these animals only to fulfil their needs, which are unnecessary and can be fulfilled by other alternatives. So, preventing wildlife species from uneven poaching and killing is wildlife conservation. It is the distinctive approach for protecting the wildlife on Earth and their habitat so that their future generations can exist without any fear.
Maintain Balance in the Ecosystem
On Earth, all living beings are interconnected to each other. Whether a lion or a human, every organism plays a significant role in the ecosystem. Wildlife conservation aims to maintain this interconnected ecosystem between different species.
Maintains Natural Habitat
Along with protecting animals, the maintenance of natural habitat is the secondary goal of wildlife conservation. The laws under this do not allow the cutting of trees so that the natural habitat of animals does not get disturbed.
Maintains the Food Chain
In the food chain, all living organisms are interrelated. If any single organism is removed from the food chain, it will disrupt the food chain. For instance, if all the lions are killed, then the count of herbivores will increase. This will lead to disbalance in the ecosystem.
Steps for Promoting Wildlife Conservation:
- The governments of different countries form different laws for restricting the hunting of animals
- They also ensure immediate actions if anyone attempts such an act
- Many natural sanctuaries are built to preserve natural habitats for future generations
- To promote the survival of endangered species, many natural parks and sanctuaries provide habitats to endangered animals to breed
- Wildlife Conservation also ensures the protection of natural habitats from pollution and other human activities
- Pollution may ruin the natural environment of animals
- So, the governments of many countries prohibited Industrial work near the forest
- Reduced meat-eating is increasingly being promoted by various organisations, both for the protection of animals and for good health
- Governments of many countries have restricted or even banned hunting
- People have to pay a large fine if they hunt without permission
