Wildlife conservation refers to the practice of protecting and preserving animal species and their natural habitats in order to maintain biodiversity, ensure healthy ecosystems, and prevent extinction. It encompasses various strategies and efforts aimed at safeguarding wildlife from threats such as habitat destruction, poaching, climate change, and pollution. Wildlife conservation can involve the establishment of protected areas such as national parks and wildlife reserves, the implementation of laws and regulations to limit hunting and trade of endangered species, and community-based initiatives that promote sustainable interactions between humans and wildlife. It also emphasizes the importance of scientific research and education to raise awareness about the significance of wildlife preservation and the interconnectedness of all living organisms. Overall, wildlife conservation is essential for maintaining ecological balance and ensuring the survival of diverse species for future generations.
