Question

article on wildlife extinction

Answer 1

Answer:

Wild” animals are those that live independently of man and characteristical­ly resist his interference with aggression or avoidance.” Wildness” in itself, of course, exists only in the mind of man; it is not a property of nature.

The mounting pressure of the rapidly-increasing global populations of human and their domestic animals and plants is one of the major causes of our declining wildlife resources. One highly disturbing aspect of the ever-grow­ing human population is that such growth occurs at the expense of the world’s wildlife storehouse.

Dining the course of natural evolution, some existing species become extinct and others are evolved. The natural turnover rates for various groups of plants and animals vary but some recent estimates suggest the following figures (see Westing, 1981):

Answer:

                    Wildlife

           

Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species, but has come to include all organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans.Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rainforests, plains, grasslands, and other areas, including the most developed urban areas, all have distinct forms of wildlife.

The goal of environmental education is to create enthusiasm among children for a peaceful coexistence of humans and wildlife. Informing them about the benefits of nature conservation leads to a better understanding of this locally but also globally important issue. The increased awareness in turn could result in a better future. With strengthened personalities, environmental education and career opportunities in the eco-tourism sector we enable children better future prospects. Simultaneously, we support eco-tourism and finally make a step forward towards achieving our vision of promoting species protection.

Through a combination of changing climates, lost habitats, increased poaching, and increased food scarcity, there has been a lot of worrying news about lately concerning the fate of wildlife around the world. The gloom-and-doom reports can often make the situation seem entirely hopeless, however there is much that can be done in order to protect and conserve wildlife on a big and a small scale.

The eco-system is all about relationships between different organisms connected through food webs and food chains. Even if a single wildlife species gets extinct from the eco-system, it may disturb the whole food chain ultimately leading to disastrous results. Consider a simple example of a bee that is vital for growth of certain crops due to their pollen carrying roles. If bees get reduced in numbers, the growth of food crops would definitely lower owing to lack of pollination.

Steps taken by the government to conserve wildlife

The "Indian Wildlife Act" was initiated by the government in 1972 for wildlife protection.

This act banned "hunting and poaching" of animals providing legal protection to wildlife.

Many wildlife sanctuaries was established by central and state governments.

Many national parks are established.
