The process of Wildlife Conservation has been discussed What is wildlife ? Why is it depleting? What are the effects of wildlife depletion ? Why do we need to save it ? And last but not the least How can we save it ? "Ways to conserve Wildlife"

3. Wildlife
Animals and Plants living in their natural habitat
and not within the possession or control of
humans.
Cultivated plants and domesticated animals are
not included in wildlife

4. Wildlife conservation is the protection of
animal and plant specie and their habitat

5. Causes of Wildlife Depletion
Natural factors usually occur at a slower rate than
human factors and therefore cause a lower
extinction rate. Human activities occur at a faster
rate and cause higher extinction rates.

6. Climatic Heating and Cooling
Some species live in a
specific climate condition
s, such as temperature
and rainfall patterns. Any
change in the climate of
an area can affect the
entire ecosystem

7. Polar bears’ primary
habitat is sea ice. Polar
bear has lost its habitat
due to climate change

Natural disasters

9. Acid Rain
Acid rain increases the acidity of the soil which affects
plant life. It can also disturb rivers and lakes to a lethal
level.

10. Disease
Diseases kill humans and animals alike10

11. The Ebola virus killed 5000 critically endangered
western gorillas between 2002 and 2003
11

12. Invasive Species
Invasive species
invade foreign
territory.
They use resources
that the other
species depend on.
Once competition
gets too great, the
survival of the
fittest plan will
begin, and one of
the species, usually
the natural one,
will die off.
12

13. Cane toads are a serious and ever-growing problem that
prey on native fauna, compete for food, and carry diseases
that may be transmitted to endemic frogs and fish. 13

14. Reproduction rates are a
natural way of maintaining a
population equilibrium.
Low Birth Rate
Generally, larger mammals
have longer lifetimes and
lower birth rates and
smaller animals like
rodents who do not live as
long produce many litters
in succession 14

15. Low Birth Rate
Female pandas ovulate only once a year, in the spring for
only a short period of two to four days on average –
which is the only time she is able to conceive 15

16. Low Genetic Diversity
Once a species starts dwindling
in numbers, there's a smaller
pool of available mates, and
thus lack genetic diversity.
Cheetahs and Koalas are
known to have low genetic
variation. This low genetic
diversity makes them more
vulnerable to diseases and
expressions of negative genetic
mutations
16

17. Human Factors (Man-Made causes)
Destruction is human nature
17

18. Poaching and Hunting
Poaching, which involves the
illegal killing, hunting and
capturing of wild animals for
sale, is the biggest threat
to wildlife after habitat
destruction
All types of hunting have
led to extinction of species.
18

19. Habitat Destruction
Natural habitat is ruined because of human activities like
construction work, the extension of agricultural work, destruction
of forests, etc. which results in bad effects in animal’s habitat,
food cycle, climate and reproduction progress
19

20. Wildlife trade
The trade of some items such as animals fur,
bones, or medicinal plants resulted in the
decline of wild animals and plants
20

21. Rhinoceros is hunted for its horns.
21

22. Pollution
Toxic wastes enters the food chain and
results in decrease in their population
22

23. Man and Wildlife Conflict
Man and Wildlife
conflict is a direct
result of habitat
destruction where
the animals
wander into
human habitation
in search of prey
and thus ends up
being killed.

25. Effects of Wildlife Depletion
What if the
predators of
deer become
extinct ?
25

26. Food Chain and Ecosystem
Everything in the natural world is connected. All animals have
important roles in the ecosystem.
When the ecological balance is disturbed, the ecosystem is disturbed26

27. Upsetting the balance of nature
A keystone species is
important to an ecosystem.
The grizzly bear is a keystone
specie to forest ecosystem.
Without grizzly bears, the
forest ecosystem could
collapse
27

28. Reduction in rare wild animals
As a result of
depletion in
wildlife, our kids
would be unable
to see some
endangered
species that are
just one
generation away
from extinction.
28

29. Impact on biodiversity
When we lose animals or plants through extinction,
we lose biodiversity.
29

30. Danger to Human life
Animals help to fertilize
the soil with their dung
and also help make the
soil airy so that plants
can grow better.
Without animals, plants
will not be able to grow
healthily.
Animal extinction will
cause the downfall of
us humans.
30

31. Loss of genetic information
Gene pool for scientists to carry breeding
programs and other experiments decline due
to extinction of species 31

32. Beauty of Earth
Wildlife is a beauty of our Earth.
By destroying Wildlife we are destroying the beauty
of our Earth 32

36. Why save wildlife?
Endangered species must be protected and saved so that future
generations can experience their presence and value.
Medicinal uses
Plants and animals are
responsible for a variety of
useful medications. In fact,
about forty percent of all
prescriptions written today are
composed from the natural
compounds of different species
36

37. Snake venom as a
cure
Bears may hold a
cure for kidney
disease
Medicinal Uses of Wildlife
37

38. There are an estimated 80,000 edible plants in the
world. Humans depend upon only 20 species of these
plants, such as wheat and corn, to provide 90% of the
world's food.
Wild relatives of these common crops
contain essential disease- resistant
material. They also provide humans with
the means to develop new crops that can
grow in inadequate lands such as in poor
soils or drought-stricken areas to help
solve the world hunger problem
38
Agricultural

39. 39
The wildlife is a major
resource of economic values
of any place. Loss of
economic value occurs when
there is a lack of resources.
Various wild species are
commercially raised,
directly contributing to local
and regional economies.
Economic benefits

40. Americans spend more than 18 billion dollars simply to
watch wildlife

41. How to conserve Wildlife
41
• Love towards mother nature and animals
• Limit industrial activities
• Reserve forests
• Study their habitat, if we know what they
need to survive it will be easier to protect
their habitat
• Avoid throwing plastics into rivers and seas.
Marine wildlife such as turtles, whales,
dolphins confuse plastic with food. When
ingested, their digestive tracts may become
blocked and they may die of starvation

42. Legislation or protection by laws
There should be proper legislative and administrative measures
against the international trade of wildlife. People hunt animals for
their valuable skin, horns, tusks, meat etc. To protect these
animals, stringent laws should be enforced strictly.
International multilateral arrangements
Wide-ranging animals and migratory birds cover large areas that
may differ in habitat. Not merely known area but those areas that
come on their routes should be protected to conserve the species,
The habitats of migratory animals fall into two different nations so,
a bilateral or multilateral arrangement should be made to protect
all the habitats.
42

43. Conclusion
Forests and Wildlife are renewable natural resources
and if all programs are effectively executed, in a few
decades flora and fauna will start nourishing
it calls for be very individual to take the responsibility
to do the best he or she can to restore the natural
creations.
So we can better participate by taking good care of our
environment as we consider the generations to come.
By doing providing a healthy environment, lives of
animals will be boosted.
