WHAT IS FULL FORM OF WILD LIFE

Wildlife 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 was also synonymous to game: those birds and mammals that were
hunted for sport. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems.
Wildlife Conservation and Its Importance
This describes wildlife conservation in detail. We have also presented
information on Prevention of wildlife from extinction, wildlife conservation,
and much more.

WHAT IS MAIN IMPORTANCE OF WILD LIFE?

Animals that grow or live in the wild without any human interference are
known as wildlife. Importance of wildlife is as follows: Wildlife helps keep the
food chain in place and thereby maintain ecological stability. It also helps
maintain the stability of the various natural processes.

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION: INTRODUCTION

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. Here, we understand different examples of wildlife
and learn the steps for promoting wildlife conservation.

Definition of Wildlife

Let’s understand how to define wildlife:

Wildlife refers to those organisms that live in forests and remain unfamiliar with
the interaction of humans. In simple words, wildlife refers to undomesticated
animal species that live away from humans in their habitat.
WHAT IS MAIN IMPORTANCE OF WILD LIFE?
Animals that grow or live in the wild without any human interference are
known as wildlife. Importance of wildlife is as follows: Wildlife helps keep the
food chain in place and thereby maintain ecological stability. It also helps
maintain the stability of the various natural processes.
 WHAT IS THE AIM OF CONSERVATION?
As part of the world's ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to
nature's processes. The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure the survival of
these species, and to educate people on living sustainably with other species.

WHAT IS WILD LIFE CONSERVATION

Wildlife conservation refers to the practice of protecting wild species and
their habitats in order to maintain healthy wildlife species or populations and to
restore, protect or enhance natural Ecosystems. Major threats to wildlife include
habitat destruction/degradation/fragmentation, overexploitation, poaching,
pollution and climate change. The IUCN estimates that 27,000 species of the ones
assessed are at risk for extinction. Expanding to all existing species, a 2019 UN
report on biodiversity put this estimate even higher at a million species. It's also
being acknowledged that an increasing number of ecosystems on Earth
containing endangered species are disappearing. To address these issues, there
have been both national and international governmental efforts to preserve Earth's
wildlife. Prominent conservation agreements include the 1973 Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and
the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). There are also numerous
nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) dedicated to conservation such as the
Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, and Conservation International.
The process of protecting wild species and their natural habitat is known as
wildlife conservation. because one of the most crucial components of the
ecosystem of the earth is wildlife. Humans are destroying wildlife for food and
shelter as a result of the world's growing population.

Definition of Wildlife Conservation

Wildlife Conservation can be defined as preventing wildlife from uneven killing

and poaching. It also involves the practice of making people aware by telling
them about the importance of wildlife.
Wildlife Conservation is very important to maintain the food chain and ecosystem
balance. If all the tigers get hunted for skins, then the count of deers increases
drastically. Along with this, if humans kill all the hens for meat, then there would
be no source of eggs. So, Wildlife conservation is necessary to maintain the
population of animals on Earth to maintain their role in the ecosystem and food
chain.

WILD LIFE FIVE POINTS

A group of local or native animals is referred to as wildlife. Importance of
wildlife: It balances nature's elements and the preservation of food chains.
Wildlife provides a large gene pool. It aids in the conservation of a region's
species.
Since 1992, the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) has recognized
multiple values derived from wildlife, namely intrinsic, ecological, genetic,
social, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational, and aesthetic values (United
Nations 1992).
There are four types of conservation
• Environmental Conservation.
• Animal conservation.
• Marine Conservation.
• Human Conservation.

WHAT ARE 4 C’s of CONSERVATION?

At the core of their practices is a sustainability framework called the 4Cs, which
stands for Conservation, Community, Commerce and Culture.

Example of Wildlife

Animals who live in a wild environment can be called wild animals, which are
also referred to as “wildlife” in the modern world. Some of its examples include:
Fox, Eagles, Bull, Bear, Crocodile, fox, wild sheep, wild cat, mountain goat,
gazelle and so forth. Deserts, forests, rainforests, plains, and grasslands are some
places where wildlife is found.

Importance of Wildlife Conservation

Let’s understand why wildlife conservation is important:

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

Let’s understand the different measures taken 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

Wildlife Sanctuaries

Wildlife sanctuaries are areas where endangered animals are kept so as not to get
extinct. In these areas, any human interference is prohibited. They play a major
role in wildlife conservation.

Importance of Wildlife Sanctuaries

Let’s understand the importance of wildlife sanctuaries.

Wildlife sanctuaries provide a natural habitat for animals to breed easily. In this
way, they help protect the planet’s natural environment. Endangered animals like
giant pandas, tigers, whooping cranes, Asian elephants and so forth live in these
wildlife sanctuaries. Here, they can enjoy their habitat and can breed easily.

Top Wildlife Sanctuaries in India

• Kaziranga National Park, Assam

• Periyar National Park
• Jim Corbett National Park
• Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan
• Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh
• Manas Wildlife Sanctuary
Top Wildlife Sanctuaries in the World

• Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Australia: for preserving kangaroos, platypus,

and birds
• Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary, Borneo: for preserving orangutans.
• Noah’s Ark, USA: for preserving bears, tigers, and lions

Conclusion

• Wildlife conservation is essential to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

It is necessary to protect the rare and extinct species of animals.
• In India and around the world, there are different wildlife sanctuaries to
protect and preserve some distinctively rare animals like Kaziranga
National Park, Jim Corbett National Park, Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary
etc.
• The governments of many countries have implemented strict norms to
promote wildlife conservation. The life of human beings without wildlife
is impossible on Earth and therefore, wildlife conservation is very
significant.
• Silver life is typically a non-domesticated species, but any organisms that
grow or dwell wild in a region without being introduced by people have
come to be included.
• In all environments it is possible to find wildlife. Wildlife is characterized
by Deserts, woods, rainforests, plains, grassland areas and other regions,
including the most advanced metropolitan areas.
• Although in popular culture animals that are undisturbed by human forces
are commonly referred to, most researchers believe that a great deal of life
is impacted by human activities.
• Human beings have traditionally tended in many ways, including legal,
social and moral sense, to divide civilization from wildness. However,
certain animals have adapted themselves to suburban areas. This includes
domesticated animals, dogs, mice and rats, for example.
• In the contemporary period, concern for the natural environment has
caused campaigners to oppose exploitation of wildlife for human
advantage or pleasure. Some faiths have declared particular animals to be
sacred.
• The protection of plant and animal populations and their environments is a
discipline of wildlife conservation. Wildlife brings equilibrium and
harmony to the workings of nature as part of the world's ecosystems.
 • They partner with the government to create and preserve public areas, such
as national parks and animal hiding places.
• In an environment, both plants and animals are mutually dependent. The
reckless killing of animals presents a major hazard to the wild. It disturbs
the food chain that has an equilibrium because animals are there. The
unwanted effects are also affecting the whole ecosystem.
Synopsis

India's 2022 all-India tiger estimation is the most extensive wildlife survey to
date, according to the National Tiger Conservation Authority. The survey
spanned 20 states and involved a foot survey of 6,41,449 km, 3,24,003 sampled
habitat plots, and camera traps at 32,588 locations, capturing 4,70,81,881 images.
The survey identified an increase in tiger populations with a minimum
estimated population of 3,167 individuals, up from 2,697 in 2001.
