Wildlife preservation refers to the protection and conservation of animals and their natural habitats. It is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the survival of endangered species. 

    Over the last four decades, human activities have greatly pushed some animal species to near extinction with an estimated loss of about 10,000 species per year accounting for losing half of the world's wildlife population. For examples, deforestation are to be blame for putting rare animals like the  Orangutan in Borneo and the White Rhinoceros in Kenya to near extinction in the wilderness.

Well, this is because of Biodiversity and Ecological balance in our planet's ecosystem. Wildlife preservation helps to maintain biodiversity, which is essential for the health of ecosystems. Biodiversity ensures that ecosystems are resilient and able to adapt to changing conditions such as climate change. In addition, wildlife plays a key role in maintaining ecological balance. For example, predators help control the the populations of their prey, which are known as "Biological Control" by farmers or land owners with crops.

Furthermore, the human well-being is key to wildlife preservation. Economic benefits such as nature-based tourism, bird-watching and hiking trails are industries that rely heavily on healthy ecosystems and the services they provide such as clean water and air. Lastly, cultural significance, for example, can help to maintain traditional and cultural values. The people of Sabah, Malaysia, build homestays for tourists while learning the cultural dances passed down by ancestors to entertain guests and families as a form of side hustle. 

By preserving wildlife and their habitats, we can ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and our future generations.

As Paul Oxton once said, "Only when the last of the animals' horns, tusks, skin, and bones have been sold out, only will mankind realize that money can never buy back our wildlife".
