2. Why wild life is important for us ?
Animal, plant and marine biodiversity keeps ecosystems functional. Healthy
ecosystems allow us to survive, get enough food to eat and make a living.
Wildlife helps in maintaining the eco-logical balance of nature. Killing of
carnivores leads to an increase in the number of herbivores which in turn
affect the forest vegetation, thus due to lack of food in the forest they come
out from the forest to agriculture land and destroy our crops.
3. Importance of wild life
Wildlife maintains balance in ecosystems
Diversity means healthier ecosystems
Wildlife provides nutrients to humans
A lot of medicine comes from wildlife
4. Wildlife maintains balance in ecosystems
Every living thing is connected. If even just one organism becomes threatened
or extinct, it has a domino effect on an entire ecosystem.
It disrupts the food chain, sending shockwaves through the environment.
It’s also important to know that threats to species rarely happen in isolation.
For our ecosystems all wildlife must be protected.
5. Diversity means healthier ecosystems
When discussing wildlife, you’ll often hear the term “biodiversity.” This refers
to the number of species in an ecosystem.
Why is this important? Consider plants. A wide variety of plants means greater
productivity and better health.
Healthy ecosystems have a lot of diversity.
6. Wildlife provides nutrients to humans
Everything we eat comes from either an animal or plant originally.
Many people still depend on wildlife for their food, as well. Without a variety
of food sources, our nutrition suffers.
Protecting wildlife and natural habitats strengthens food security around the
world.
7. A lot of medicine comes from wildlife
Humans have always turned to nature for medicine.
Many medical systems (like Chinese traditional medicine) still rely on wildlife.
Medicines like morphine, penicillin, and aspirin were derived from wild
plants.
When searching for cures to diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s, researchers
still look to nature.
8. That’s why we say …….
An earth without wildlife is a life without beautiful things.
