Importance of Wildlife Conservation
• Ecological importance - Maintaining healthy ecosystems
• Economic importance - Tourism and sustainable resource management
• Investigatory importance - Advancing scientific knowledge
• Conservation of biological diversities - Protecting genetic diversity
• Importance in agriculture - Natural pollinators and pest control
Threats to Wildlife
Illegal Wildlife Trade - The illegal wildlife trade is the fourth largest criminal industry in the world, after
drugs, arms, and human trafficking.

Habitat Destruction - : The fires that swept across the Amazon and Australia rightly drew attention to just how
fragile the most important ecosystems are.
Invasive Species - : Whether accidentally or intentionally introduced, the non-native species grow and
reproduce rapidly, then spread across ecosystems aggressively.
Pollution - : There are 500 times more pieces of micro plastic in the sea than there are stars in our galaxy
