The Current Status of Global Wildlife and the Need for Preservation 

The world is currently experiencing an alarming decline in wildlife populations, both in rural and urban environments. The loss of habitat, climate change, poaching, and pollution are just some of the factors contributing to this trend. It is imperative that we take action to preserve our planet's wildlife and natural habitats. One of the most significant threats to wildlife is the loss of habitat. As human populations continue to grow, more and more land is being developed for housing, agriculture, and industry. This encroachment into wildlife habitats has a devastating effect on animal populations, with many species facing extinction. Climate change is another major factor affecting wildlife populations. Rising temperatures and changing weather patterns are altering habitats and disrupting food chains. This can lead to reduced breeding success, reduced food availability, and increased competition for resources. Climate change is also causing sea levels to rise, which threatens coastal ecosystems and the wildlife that depend on them. Poaching and illegal wildlife trade are also significant threats to wildlife populations. These activities have driven many species, such as elephants, rhinos, and tigers, to the brink of extinction. Illegal hunting and fishing are also a problem, with many species being targeted for their meat or for use in traditional medicines. Pollution is also having a detrimental effect on wildlife populations. Water pollution, air pollution, and noise pollution are all damaging to animals and their habitats. Chemical pollutants can accumulate in the food chain, leading to health problems and reproductive failure. Noise pollution can interfere with communication and mating behavior, leading to a decline in breeding success. To preserve our planet's wildlife, we must take action to address these threats. One of the most effective ways to do this is through the establishment of protected areas, such as national parks and wildlife reserves. These areas provide safe habitats for wildlife and can help to restore populations that have been depleted. We must also work to reduce our impact on the environment through sustainable development practices. This includes measures such as using renewable energy sources, reducing pollution, and conserving water resources. By reducing our carbon footprint, we can help to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect the habitats of wildlife. In addition, we must take action to stop poaching and illegal wildlife trade. This includes implementing stricter laws and penalties for those involved in these activities, as well as increasing education and awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation. Finally, we must take steps to protect wildlife in urban environments. This includes measures such as creating green spaces and wildlife corridors, reducing light pollution, and minimizing the impact of development on local ecosystems. By preserving wildlife in urban areas, we can help to create a more sustainable future for our planet and its inhabitants. In conclusion, the decline of global wildlife populations is a major concern that requires urgent action. By working together to address the threats to wildlife, we can help to preserve our planet's natural habitats and ensure the survival of the world's fauna and flora for future generations.

    Hello, this is your mentor Yewon! Nice to meet you:)

    Thank you for your amazing work! You have explained several factors that have impacts on wildlife. Especially, I think that climate change is one of the crucial factors because the climate is very important part to living things to survive. For example, coral reef cannot survive if the temperature of the ocean rises up to 30'C.

    Thank you again for your great job on your report! I hope to read your next report, too!

    Hello Chiteu! This is your mentor James.

    Thank you for your precise report! I'm sure a lot of ambassadors would appreciate your effort.

    According to your article, you have listed the factors that deteriorates the current wildlife around the globe. Among your cases, I personally think climate change would affect the ecosystem in a devastating scale. For example, I can't imagine what would happen to all the wildlife in the Pacific islands if the sea level increases at the same rate as now.

    After that, you have clearly stated means of preserving wildlife, which I think is sensible. Expanding the protected areas and wildlife reserves throughout the world is an excellent way to restrict indiscriminate land clearing and deforestation, as well as securing natural habitats for the remaining species.

    Thanks again for your wonderful report. I can't wait to see your following articles.
