Answer 2
Human greed and continuously rising development has put the existence of wildlife in danger.
Cutting down trees and forests to pave way for development has resulted into loss of habitat for wildlife.
Hunting of animals and birds to obtain their skin, meat, teeth, hair and bones also results in their loss.
With rising human population, more and more cattle is needed to obtain milk. Excessive grazing of domestic animals in the forests results in decrease in the grass which serves as a major source of food for herbivores. This leads to migration and even death of herbivores.
Reduction in the number of herbivores will deprive carnivores from getting their food. Hence, these carnivores move out to human settlements in search of food. They attack humans and also their domestic animals for food.
Thus, wild animals become victim of human rage and lose their lives.
In South and South-Eastern India, the menace of elephants entering into agriculture fields in search of food has increased much.
Incidences of leopards attacking humans has increased in Saurashjra and South Gujarat. Similar problem is seen for bears in the forests of north-east Gujarat.
This makes humans hate the wild animals. Such situation leads to conflict between wild animals and human settlements. This conflict can destroy wildlife in the long run.
Over and above this, human activities cause a lot of pollution in the nature. This also disturbs and destroys the nature, natural cycle and living organisms living in it.
