The saving of wildlife mainly depends upon water and soil conservation. All of the native plants and animals consitute the wildlives of their regions and they are a product of the land resources and habitat conditions.
Wild animals must have food, water, and shelter like humans. By you destroying the forests, ponds, and grasslands, you will destroy their food and water supplies and the places where they live at.
Many species are now extinct that is the original native wildlife of the United States. The species include: (1) the passenger pigeon, (2) the Carolina parakeet, (3) the great auk, (4) Labrador duck, (5) Pallas cormorant, (6) the dusky seaside sparrow, and (7) the heath hen.
The Eastern elk, the Plains wolf, the sea mink, and the Bad Lands bighorn are the mammals that are gone FOREVER. Smaller birds and mamals have become extinct in the wild. Populations of the ivory-billed woodpecker and the California condor NO LONGER EXIST in the wild of the U.S.
The # of moose, caribou, wild sheep, goats, grizzly, and Alaska brown bears growsevery year. Much of the wildlife is now protected by law from overhunting and overfishing. If the habitat is destroyed of ther natural homes continues, many wildlife will be unable to survive.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maintains a list of endangered and threatened species of the U.S. Environmental concerns for a variety of reptiles, amphibians, small fishes, insects, and mollusks is reflected in the number of species classed as threatened or endangered.
The Endangered Species Act has been effective for preserving some species that seemed destined for extinction.
Worldwide,the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources keeps track of species threatened with extinction. Many of the world's great cats, whales, certain species of rhinoceros, tapirs, and many other mammals, birds, and reptiles are some of the endangered species.
Housing and other facilities needed by an expanding human population are encroaching in their habitats.
Many species are the victims of the illegal pet trade and of the trade in exotic pelts and skins; the increasing availability of guns and poisons is responsible for the extermination of other species.
Some of the governments have established national wildlife reservations and game refuges. Many refuges are established in places to which animals, especially migratory birds, have long been attracted. In the U.S., mane of those that are administrated by the Fish and Wildlife Service. All the national parks and national moments are wildlife refuges.
People like you can help restore wildlife to the countryside simply by providing birds, fish, and animals w/ natural breeding sites. They can do even more by encouraging their state and federal governments to provide effective laws for habitat protection.
Efforts to save native wildlife from extinction were aided by management programs provided in the Endangered SPecies Preservation Act of 1966. Beginning in 1969, the importation of endangered species and the interstate shipment of ILLEGALY captured wildlife were PROHIBITED. The pet, fure, and hide markets for native and foreign species of potentially extinct animals were OUTLAWED.
