The habit or act of protecting non-domesticated animals along with their habitat, plants or organisms from going extinct from this world is called wildlife conservation. Wildlife is an important part of our ecosystem. Many animals and plants are vanishing from this world with each passing day. There is an urgent need to save these animals and plants from going extinct.

Different causes or factors are responsible for the extinction of wild animals or plants from this earth. Human activities are considered as the biggest threat to wildlife. Due to the rapid increase in the human population, people are destroying the forests to construct their homes, vacating areas to set up industries, etc. As a result of that many wild animals loss their dwelling place. Again wild animals are hunted for their meat, skin, teeth, horns, etc. For example, the one-horned rhinoceros found in the Kaziranga National Park is hunted for its horn.

Deforestation is another cause that is responsible for the extinction of most wild animals. As a result of deforestation, lots of wild species loss their natural dwelling place and gradually they step on the verge of extinction. Ocean life is in danger due to the excess use of plastic by human beings.

The government always tries to protect wildlife by implementing different wildlife protection laws. Non-Government organizations also take steps to protect wildlife. But all go in vain if people don’t understand the value of wildlife on its own.
