March, 2023 Theme Report [WILDLIFE PRESERVATION] INTRODUCTION Wildlife is the natural fauna and flora that exist in the world, encompassing a vast array of species and ecosystems. Wildlife plays an essential role in maintaining the ecological balance of our planet, providing many benefits to humans, such as food, medicine, and recreation. However, it is such a tragedy that wildlife populations are under constant threat from human activities. Due to this human; inhumane; activities, a large majority of wildlife suffer from habitat loss, death, or worse, specie-eradication. REASONS FOR WILDLIFE PRESERVATION It is of a crucial matter to preserve wildlife not due to one, two, or three reasons but for a whole lot of reasons, some of which include: Ecological Balance: Wildlife plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of our planet. Each species is an essential component of its ecosystem, and the loss of one species can have far-reaching consequences. For example, the loss of pollinators like bees and butterflies can lead to a decline in crop production, affecting food security and the economy. Biodiversity: Wildlife contributes to biodiversity, which is critical for the survival of all species on earth, including humans. Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms, including species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Preserving wildlife ensures the preservation of biodiversity, which is essential for ecosystem functioning, climate regulation, and sustainable development. Cultural Significance: Wildlife has cultural and aesthetic significance. Many cultures around the world have a deep connection to their local wildlife, and preserving wildlife is essential to maintain their cultural heritage. Additionally, many people find joy and inspiration in observing and interacting with wildlife, which has a positive impact on mental health. Economic Benefits: Wildlife provides significant economic benefits through tourism and recreation. Ecotourism, which involves traveling to natural areas to observe wildlife, generates income and employment opportunities for local communities. Wildlife also provides resources for industries such as pharmaceuticals and agriculture, which rely on biodiversity for their products. Ecosystem Services: Wildlife preservation also supports the provision of ecosystem services, such as clean air and water, carbon sequestration, and soil fertility. These services are essential for human health and well-being and support many economic activities such as agriculture, forestry, and fishing. Scientific Research: Wildlife preservation also provides opportunities for scientific research, which can help us better understand ecological processes, develop conservation strategies, and discover new drugs and medicines. Many medicines, including antibiotics and cancer treatments, have been developed from compounds found in plants and animals.

Hello, Serah!
This is your mentor Yewon!
I was so impressed by your report! I've never thought so much of a reason to protect wildlife as you do! Especially, I agree with your point of view that wildlife can be of cultural significance!!
Moreover, I liked the part you mentioned 'ecotourism'. I like to travel to places that have beautiful nature, so I also think that preserving wildlife can be a way to gain economical benefits from wildlife!
Thank you for your great report!

I love wildlife so much that any time I have the opportunity to watch Tv, I stick to NATGeo wild.
I love the interaction between them, their survival attitude and they way they cooperate to make the work done.

Hello Serah! This is your mentor James!
Wow, you certainly have written a vividly structured report! I can't believe you've came up with this many reasons why we should preserve biodiversity. I agree with all of your reasons as well!
Among those reasons, I found the cultural benefits the most interesting one. Traditions of human society that date back to the very early ages of history depends a lot on wild animals and plants. Thus, loss of biodiversity may lead to loss of cultural heritage in many regions around the world.
Thank you for widening my perspective as well, Serah! I'll be looking forward to read your following articles.

Yes, I agree that there are many cultures which have rituals centered around the wildlife that exists in that region. Wildlife conservation can also be a way to tackle climate change.
