Wild Life Conservation

Human beings have started to think themselves as the most superior being and at the same time started to dominate the others. This is creating a huge difference which is a contemporary factor of causing environmental disaster. For that one first has to be aware of what is wildlife conservation. 
Wildlife conservation is a practice in which people attempt to protect endangered plant and animal species, along with their habitats. The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy, and to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness lands to humans. Many nations have government agencies dedicated to wildlife conservation which help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife, and numerous independent nonprofit organizations also promote various wildlife conservation causes.
Wild life can be conserved by providing them with natural environment and indiscriminate hunting and putting ban on illegal trade on wildlife products. “Every 20 minutes, the world adds another 3,500 human lives but loses one or more entire species of animal or plant life – at least 27,000 species per year.” (Source: PBS). “At the present rates of extinction, as many as 20% of the world's 7-15 million species could be gone in the next 30 years. This rate of extinction has been unprecedented since the disappearance of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.” (Source: WWF).
It is very sad to see that the number of exinct species have been increasing. With the passage of time people tend to forget it even. Why we don't think that what are we living behind us for the future generations. Though government has taken steps to conserve wildlife but it is not fully successful, as we all know.
