Wildlife conservation refers to the practice of protecting and preserving natural habitats and the diverse species of flora and fauna that inhabit them. It aims to ensure that wildlife populations remain sustainable, mitigate threats such as habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change, and promote biodiversity. Conservation efforts can include creating protected areas like national parks, implementing laws and regulations, restoring ecosystems, and supporting sustainable practices in agriculture and forestry. Wildlife conservation is essential for maintaining ecological balance, supporting human livelihoods, and preserving the planet’s natural heritage for future generations. It often involves collaboration between governments, non-profit organizations, local communities, and individuals to effectively address the various challenges facing wildlife and their habitats.
