Need to conserve wildlife?

Question

Need to conserve wildlife?

Answer 1

wildlife, even if WE don't eat them, support the ecosystem of the earth as a whole. Without even the smallest creature, the balance can be thrown off, and a lot of other species, including humans eventually, would be affected. Yes, we do need to help conserve the natural world around us. The whole earth can't be made up of humans and their technology and still support life.

Answer 2

Yes!

Answer 3

YES!  

We need to stop building homes on their land!

Answer 4

of course we need to conserve it or else when u have grand children and ask them what nature was they wont even know what it was

Answer 5

Ofcourse but how Of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years. each years, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct.

A lot of human activity is speeding that up since we tend to overpower all the other species in one way or another.

Some reasons why animals are being wiped out ,in the forrests are:

The hunting of exotic species for the consumer market

only about 10% of the animals caught survive

The hunting of animals for food by settlers

Forrest fires ,that have started because of slash and burning of forrest ,to clear the land for farming, had gotten out of control

The loss of Habitat because the conditions have changed ,e.g less humidity because of surrounding farmlands ,or overpumping of rivers for human use(farming and utility)

Because of contamination of the waters ,

Expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years

the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.

TV put out a series of documentaries

there are campaigns in the News papers

and all of this has not made the slightest difference

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest we need to improve economic situations on the edges of the wilderness.

The jungles gets smaller by the day

more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees

It is an impossible situation

as long as there is poverty in these regions the destruction will continue

And the Animals will continue to be trapped ,as long as people keep buying the exotic animals

CLIMATE CHANGE

And now many animals are becoming sick because of changes in temperature ,

vital links in the food chains are disapearing affecting other species further along in the chain

90% of the feral (wild) bee population in the United States has died out.

Recent studies in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have shown that bee diversity is down 80 percent in the sites researched, and that "bee species are declining or have become extinct in Britain." The studies also revealed that the numbers of wildflowers that depend on pollination have dropped by 70 percent.

If bees continue to die off so would the crops they support and with that would ensue major economic disruption and possibly famine.

Bees are not the only polinators but if these things are happening to bees we can bet on it that other insects are also in trouble ,on top of this many people are spraying for mosquitos ,with drastic effects .

So much follows the insects in the food chains ,that we can expect a lot of very bad changes in the environment .

Only time will tell what is in store for us ,and that time is running now .

Everything is happening so fast it is not possible to monitor events any more

and check what the production of ethenol has in store for the flora and fauna of this planet .

Answer 6

reesey hit the nail right on the head.  I can't improve on that answer.

Answer 7

well. um. duh.

Answer 8

Most definitely we need to conserve wildlife.

Answer 9

absolutely. we as humans want the right to live, and they should have that right as well. they're doing nothing wrong, it's us that's driving too many species to extinction.

i think the question should be, should Homo sapiens be conserved?

Answer 10

Of course.

Answer 11

Yes.. we can't eat them all at once

Answer 12

Of course (like most everyone else said) animals play a crucial role in balancing ecosystems. Plus, one day when I take my grandkids to the zoo I'd rather not be saying "Back in my day there WERE polar bears...and tigers...and pandas..." next to the taxadermied extinct animals exhibit.

Answer 13

Definately. Wildlife is a vital part of our civilization, for generations we have studied and emulated processes and functions of plants and animals, to further our understanding and derive useful things like medicine, technology, principles in science and economics.

Answer 14

The BIGGEST killer of species right now is the loss of habitat and pollution.Hunters contribute more to trying to save the enviroment than any other group.They are who foot the bill for conservation in all us states.If you truly want to help the enviroment and wildlife people would need to change what they are doing as a whole.The polution in U.S. major rivers from industrial use and agriculteral run off is an absolute sin.This is what is creating algi blooms in the gulf of Mexico and most fish species in the rivers today are not even safe to eat because of the mercury levels in them.The wetland loss do to back filling by Corporations and Farming is at an alarming level, 90% in the u.s. has been lost.Migrating ducks and Geese need these along with other wildlife and plant species.The distruction of forested areas all across the U.S. to build big fancy homes and farmland.The army core of engineers is removing a d**e from the florida everglades that they put in 50 years ago because it is killing it.The only living reef in the continental US of the florida Keys is in trouble.You could go on and on with this.

  

People have to change what they are doing is the bottom line

Answer 15

Manage, conserve...h**l yes!  I'd like my kids to see animals in the wild...not just in a zoo or a museum.
