What is wildlife conservation ? 

The points given below will give you an idea :- 

 

Conservation of wildlife involves the protection preservation, perpetuation and judicious control of rare species of plants and animals in their natural habitats.

The following important steps are proposed by scientists all over the world to save existing wildlife:

1. Special attention should be given to conserve the species which fall in the category of endangered, vulnerable or rare species.

2. Proper planning of land and water utilization should be done to ensure the protection of wildlife in their natural habitats or in the man-made habitats such as zoos and botanical gardens.

3. Efforts should be made to preserve as many varieties of food crops as possible, including forage plants, timber trees, livestock, aquaculture animals and domesticated animals.

4. Each country should identify the habitats and areas of wild relatives of the economically useful species and ensure the safety of these species.

5. Wildlife sanctuaries and national parks should be made keeping in mind the feeding, breeding and environmental needs of the species concerned.

6. Alternative measures should be adopted to allow the survival of a species being exploited by a country or a community or an industry.

7. The products of wild plants and animals being used for international trade should be allowed only at levels which would not endanger the related wildlife.

8. Migratory route should be marked out and protected for migratory birds.

9. Strict laws have to be framed and enforced to check poaching, illegal hunting and trade of animal products.

10. Restoration of streams, rivers, ponds and other waterbodies to their natural conditions.

11. Restoration of forests, fields, grassland and swamps.

12. Prevention of unnecessary destruction of wildlife by educating human beings concerning causes, results and remedial measures of wildlife depletion.
