[March Thematic Report] Wildlife preservation
by Nadir Huseynov \| 12-03-2023 17:04 1
Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. As part of the world’s ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes. The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure the survival of these species, and to educate people on living sustainably with other species. The human population has grown exponentially over the past 200 years, to more than seven billion people today, and it continues to rapidly grow. This means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet. This growth and development also endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. Other threats to wildlife include the introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world, climate change, pollution, hunting, fishing, and poaching. National and international organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation efforts on many different fronts. They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife refuges. They help write legislation, such as the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species. They work with law enforcement to prosecute wildlife crimes, like wildlife trafficking and illegal hunting (poaching). They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats. Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and to protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.

Hello Nadir! This is your mentor James.

What an article! You stated the definition of wildlife conservation in a thorough manner and then you've listed the potential threats to wildlife which I think are all very reasonable.

The part that amazed me in your report are the specific conservation efforts that are being carried out all around the world. Clearly you have put in effort and searched for these certain activities, like the photographer Thomas P. Peschak.

Maintain your enthusiasm and keep up the good work!

Hello Nadir! This is your mentor Yewon.

Thank you for your great report about efforts to preserve wildlife! You have well explained the role of organizations and governments in preserving wildlife, including ESA.
Also, I was very interested in the last part where you mentioned biologists and environmental filmmakers! Well, I have never thought of environmental filmmakers, but I think that they are taking important roles, which is to raise awareness among people!

Thank you again for sharing!!

Hello Nadir
I like the way you present your article.
You share with us some great ideas in terms of wildlife conservation and how we could act to protect this natural heritage. There are a few ideas that come to me when reading your work.
I agree with you that human activities are the main threat to wildlife. The solution to this problem lies in all the actions you have proposed, but also in activities that will contribute to poverty reduction. Some communities, such as indigenous people, depend heavily on natural resources for their livelihood. Years ago, they managed them in a sustainable way, but now things have changed, because wildlife trophies are being used further in the industrial field. It would be good to raise awareness and find solutions with this community to move from dependence on natural resources to other income.
In forest areas, for example, few people are involved or know how to raise livestock. It would therefore be very interesting to train people to raise cows, chickens, pigs, etc. as an alternative to wildlife as the only source of animal protein.
wish you a good week
