Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, rain forests, plains, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities.
destrution by humans
Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife.Many wildlife speces have spiritual significance in different cultures around the world, and they and their products may be used as sacred objects in religious rituals. For example, eagles, hawks and their feathers have great cultural and spiritual value to Native Americans as religious objects.Destruction of wildlife is happening frequently all over the world. People in this world are so greedy and selfish. As we know we had a large number of wildlife in all the corners of the world but now their population has become less compare to earlier because of people on this world who just want to show off their wealth and status. Some will use for their fashion. Mostly, the animals are killed for their horn, skin, bone, etc as these fetches easy money.fact file WCS INDIA: The history of Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) research in India dates back to the 1960's, with the first-ever scientific study of wild tigers in central India by George Schaller. Thereafter, following a break of two decades, Ullas Karanth initiated the present WCS-India. WCS program focuses on charismatic endangered megafauna in protected reserves - as the most appropriate social tactic for saving biodiversity. During its 13 years of development,WCS-India program has blossomed from a single research project to encompass all the major strategies now pursued by WCS globally research, capacity.
19 ways in which we can save wildlife
1.Do not buy bones, skulls, teeth, trophies or feathers of wild animals. To obtain these product, animals have to be killed and you are encouraging the wildlife trade.
2.Do not think of our wild animals (such as wild boar and deer meat) as exotic food. If we continue to eat these animals at the current rate, there will soon be none left. There is plenty of beef, chicken, fish and other meats available.
3.Dont think of wild animal parts as having medicinal value. For most of the times it is not true. A simple fact - the rhino horn is made of the same stuff (keratin) as your finger nail. Therefore, if you have a fever, would you cook and eat your finger nail?
4.Do not think of hunting for wild animals as a sport. It may be a sport to you but it is certainly not a sport for the animal.
5.Do not hunt for sale or trade in wildlife. Commercial sale of our animals reduces the tourism potential and regeneration potential of our forests, and is bringing some species close to extinction in Sarawak.
6.If you have no other sources of food and are allowed to hunt animals for subsistence, do not hunt any protected or totally protected species. These are so rare that if they are hunted, they might become extinct.
7.Do not poison the rivers when you go fishing. Poison kills almost everything in the rivers. Besides, it is illegal to do so.
8.If you are fishing using jala (cast nets) or jaring (drift nets), do not use nets with small mesh sizes. We encourage the use of bigger mesh sizes as this allows juvenile fish to escape capture.
9.Do not fish near the shore, especially in the mangroves. The mangroves are critical breeding grounds for most fishes and prawns.
10.Do not keep wild animals as pets. This includes birds like mynas, hornbills and parrots. By discouraging the pet trade, you are helping to eliminate the harvest of animals from the wild.
11.Do inform the National Parks and Wildlife Service if you encounter illegal activities concerning wildlife. Examples of some illegal activities are : hunting inside national parks and hunting or keeping protected or totally protected species without a licence.
12.Do learn about ways to conserve our animals. Subscribe to a wildlife magazine and watch nature programmes on TV.
13.Make education your objective when you next visit a wildlife centre.
14.You can contribute to wildlife conservation. Donate to a nature society or club. The contributions are often tax deductable. GIVE to SAVE!!!!
15.Be a volunteer for a nature society or club. Your efforts are valuable.
16.Encourage your school, club and friends to have talks and debates on the values of wildlife conservation.
17.Do take photographs of our wonderful wildlife. Show them to your friends.
18.Encourage your friends and family to respect Wildlife. The animals contribute to your well-being.
19.If you have the option, think of wildlife conservation as a career. It is extremely rewarding.
