A Conservation and Wanderers Rendezvous

Introduction:
Wild life conservation:
Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal species and their habitat. Wildlife plays an important role in balancing
the ecosystem and provides stability to different natural processes of nature.
Why the conservation of wildlife is important?
Conservation is not just important for animals but to all living things. Conservation is also very important to prevent floods, fires, new deserts
and drought. It is important to protect habitats and natural areas like rainforests. Conservation needs to be done by humans to prevent damage
to the world caused by humans
One of the best way of conservation of animals is through legal and ethical hunting. That is why hunter-gatherers are said to co-exist most
efficiently with the natural ecosystem.

Game Reserves in Pakistan:

Game reserves are huge terrains where wildlife survives securely unless temporary hunting permissions are granted in a
controlled way for sport.

Literature Review
How are humans affected by nature?
Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings.
Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood
pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones.

‘We all know that the only way to preserve the animals and birds is "conservation through commercial hunting"....we have
seen this model as a success almost in every corner of the world as well as in Pakistan with reference to Urial, Markhor,
Ibex, Chinkara and Blue Sheep.....Hog Deer, Blue Bull, Axis Deer, Black Buck’
