Why wildlife needs to be protected?

Answer 1

Wildlife sanctuaries are needed to give wild animals a place to live. They need a area that won't be bulldozed down for a store and one that has all necessities for the many species.

Answer 2

I have heard this question asked many times and my answer has always been that wildlife is intricate to the harmony of nature. Despite all our technology, we still need nature in order to survive. You can think of wildlife as indicators of the overall state of health of Earth's environment. We need it to be healthy in order for us to stay healthy. And, a healthy environment includes wildlife.

Answer 3

There are many ways. A few examples of how wildlife is important for humans are:

1. Wild bees (which live mostly on the nectar from wild flowers) also drink nectar from the flowers of many important food crops, thus pollinating them and allowing giving humans food to eat.

2. Various wild plants have been discovered that help improve human health, as well as treat diseases.

3. Many parts of the world depend on wild seafood for sustenance.

4. Without the trees of the world's forests, there wouldn't be enough oxygen to keep humans and other air breathing animals alive.

Of course, the above are all selfish reasons. As humans, we have great power and thus great responsibility. Just because we can destroy habitats for our own economic benefit doesn't mean we should, because the animals and plants in those places are living things with emotions and that can suffer pain. Additionally, when we destroy nature, we suffer the repercussions of erosion, pollution, climate change, etc.

Answer 4

Because the majority of animals that are threatened, are only threatened because of human behavior. As such it is a moral imperative. Further more while many people like to know that wildlife is thriving in the wild, there are many people who wish to make money from it (such as shooting tigers for their pelts)

Answer 5

Humans need to preserve wildlife because If we don't the life cycle will be ruined. For example, if all the humans in the world kill all the sea krill, then the blue whale will die and the sharks and dolphins will acumalate because they won't have an enemy(blue whale). If we don't try to save the wildlife here we all might die.

Answer 6

There are many reasons for conserving wildlife. It is necessary for the maintenance of genetic diversity; plants and animals act as environmental indicators, they provide the natural materials for food and medicine; wildlife is pleasing to all and it provides amenity.

All living organisms are interrelated; all crops and domestic animals descend from wildlife and all depend on wild species directly or indirectly. All green plants and all animals (including humans) rely on microorganisms cycling the chemical elements necessary for life, while many plants also depend on insects and other animals for fertilisation and dispersal. Together all organisms resemble a living body with each part dependent upon others. We do not know what the effect of losing any of these species would be.

Children are main users of natural spaces, even very small spaces near their homes. There is a real risk that children lose what they need for mental, physical and social development when places are tidied up by adults. Since children and wildlife often value the same features and details, what damages the interests of one will affect those of the other.

Answer 7

Wildlife is really important because if an animal is on the verge of being extinct , conservationist can help and bring their numbers up ! This is very important for the future generation to be brought up around animals and learn about them.

Answer 8

Wildlife is important because of its effect to the ecosystem. Without wildlife, there is no food. There is no clothes. There is virtually nothing. Wildlife is life.
