2.  It’s an Uphill Struggle to Conserve
 How Nature is get destroyed?
 Ways to conserve Nature
 Depletion of Wildlife Population
 Declining Large number of Carnivores
 Importance of Wildlife Conservation

 Conclusion

3.  Unfortunately, despite the effort put into conservation by
organizations and activists, their work can easily be undermined
by those who have other interests.
 A study reported by the journal Nature concluded that “almost a
third of threats to animal spices around the world stem from
trade to meet the demands of richer nations and with some
poorer nations such as China increasing their development”
 Consequently, helping species and ecosystems to survive
becomes more difficult.
 A report from the global conservation organization, WWF, has
suggested that “since 1970 the pressure we excert on the planet
has almost doubled and the natural resources upon which we
depend have declined by more than 33%”.

4.  Deforestration
 Pollution
 Natural Disasters
 Wastages
 Over use of Chemicals
 Over use of Technology
 Oils
 Solid Garbage

6. Conserve and Save Nature
Save Natural Resources
Use Green
Drive less
Save Energy
Waste less

7.  According to a new report, global populations of fish,
birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have already
declined by 58% between 1970 and 2012.
 As the study notes, these large carnivores are an
intrinsic part of an ecosystem’s biodiversity. As a
simple example, the loss of a large carnivore may mean
in the short term the herbivores they prey on may
increase in numbers but this can also result in a
deterioration of the environment as the herbivores can
graze more, largely unchecked.

8.  Three quarters of the world’s big carnivores are in
decline.A study in the journal Science, notes that these
large animals — such as lions, leopards, wolves and
bears — are in decline, due to declining habitats and
persecution by humans. In the developed world, most
large carnivores are already extinct, while in the rest of
the world, most face threats of extinction locally or
globally.
 This also has a negative impact on the environment,
perhaps partly formed by outdated-views that
predators are harmful for other wildlife.

9.  This observation applies to the seas as well, whereby a few
decades ago some fisherman had justified hunting and killing
whales because they were affecting the fish supply. It turned out
that this disruption of the natural food chain led to a series of
ecosystem changes that reduced fish supplies, and many
fishermen’s livelihoods were destroyed.

10. Some of the spices which are in danger and
declining continuously.
1.Declining Number of Tigers
2.Declining Number of Lions
3.Declining Number of Rhinos and Elephants
4.Declining Number of Monkeys,Apes and other Primates
5.Near Extiction of Vultures
6.Declining Number of Polar Bears
7.Declining Number of Penguins
8.Declining Amphibian Populations
9.LFAC affect Whales,Dolphinsand Other Sea Life

11.  The population of tigers is believed to have declined by
95 percent in the last century.

12.  And another iconic animal, the lion, is also dwindling in
numbers. The BBC reports that fewer than 20,000 lions
now survive in Africa,compared to 2,00,000 in the early
1980’s.

13. As with the killing of sharks just for
their fins, whereby the body is discarded
once the fin is cut off the shark, rhinos
are often killed just for the horns. The
IUCN is finding some 3 rhinos a month
are being killed. In some places that
number is even higher. In Africa, the
total rhino population is estimated to be
around 18,000 and in India/Nepal only
2,400.
Despite a ban on the international trade
in ivory, African elephants are still being
poached in large numbers. Tens of thou-
-sands of elephants are being killed every
year for their ivory tusks. The ivory is
often carved into ornaments and jewellery.
China is the biggest consumer market
for such products.

14. A report by the world’s foremost primate authorities, the Interna-
-tional Primatological Society, presented the state of primates
around the world. They found that of the world’s 634 kinds of
primates almost 50% are in danger of going extict.

15. mountain gorillas are a species
of gorilla,and mountain gorilla
numbers are incredibely low,
approximately 720, according to
the International Gorilla
Conservation Program.

16.  The BMA noted that in the 1980s, these birds were the
most abundant large birds of prey in the world. However, in
the last 12 years, the population had crashed by 97%.
 How did this happen?
The anti-inflammatory, diclofenac,
(similar to ibuprofen), was used by
cattle farmers as a popular cure-all to
treat a variety of diseases.
Vultures feeding on carcasses of cows
treated with the drug died of kidney
failure as it was a poison for the vultures.
The use of this medication was careless and casual.

17.  The World Wildlife Fund for Nature lists toxic
pollution,oil exploration,and hunting,as well as
climate change,as the threats polar bears face.
 Polar bears are found throughout the circumpolar
Arctic on pack ice, along or near coasts, and on islands.

18.  A concern about crashing numbers of a particular species of penguin in
recent years, the rockhoppers, shows that there may be numerous
complicated factors causing this, and it is not always easy to know for
sure. In the Falkland Islands alone, the species numbers have dropped
from 600,000 to 420,000 in just 6 years, and down from 1.5 million in
1932. But from all their habitats millions have recently vanished.

19.  Unfortunately, as has been feared for many years now,
amphibian species are declining at an alarming rate.
 The Golden Toad of Monteverde, Costa Rica was
among the first casualties of amphibian declines.
Formerly abundant, it was last seen in 1989.

20. The United States Navy and NATO have been using
and testing Low Frequency Active Sonar (LFAS) to
detect enemy submarines. Many dolphins and
whales who use their own sonar to navigate the
oceans have been severely affected. The sound is so
loud (over 235dB) that it can and kill and maim
whales, dolphins and sea life. LFAS is known to be
harmful to humans as well.
 Some whale and dolphin strandings are believed to
be due to military sonar.

22.  Unbalanced Food chain and Ecosystem
 Reduction of Rare Wild Animals
 Danger to human life
 Impact on Biodiversity
 Danger to Wildlife
 Hunting and poaching of spices

23.  Adopt
 Volunteer
 Speakup
 Conserve Endangered animals
 Avoid to pollute Nature
 Stop Deforestration

24. Nature is not only that all visible to the eye……..
it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
So,don’t disturb that soul and try to protect it.
