An Introduction To The Problems Our Planet Face

   

  Wildlife conservation is an important part of protecting our world for ourselves and for future generations. Plenty of issues are ravaging our wildlife and ecosystems but none as deadly as our own climate. The change to our climate over the past thousand years has destroyed many ecosystems, caused extinction of animals and changed the landscape of our world forever. 

The evidence is all around us; from rising sea levels, to global temperatures rising, to the warming of oceans and to the increase of disaster events brought on by extreme weather. These issues are not the only problem affecting our wildlife though. 

Poaching and illegal animal parts trade also cause a huge decline in populations of our wildlife, which in turn destroys entire ecosystems. Trading of ivory tusks to killing of whales off the coasts of Japan. 

However, the saving grace for our wildlife is that our government has funded national parks and animal sanctuaries to protect important ecosystems from being poached or hunted on. However, many officials in our government want to defund or even close down national parks that protect the natural balance. 

In this blog I would like to talk about and show you ways to tackle these issues affecting the wildlife our world. If we do not take action and start on a track to healing the earth then many of the animals we share this planet with will become extinct. This will have detrimental effects on us as a species and the animals who rely on each other to survive in the wild.
