Wildlife conservation refers to the act of guaranteeing the protection of wild animal species, their habitats, and plants. We sometimes are either conscious or unconscious of the fact that we may be doing harm to wildlife. Furthermore, the importance of wild conservation is that the next generation should be allowed to enjoy nature while recognizing the wildlife plays an important role in our planet’s ecosystems.


Nature has a need for a variety of species that are connected through various food chains. As a result, when one species is affected by endangerment or extinction there is an influence on other animals within the food chain. As more animals become extinct there is less variability in the diversity of animals and plants in our environment. In the end, conserving wildlife can encourage biodiversity.


We must ensure that we have adequate food supplies to sustain us in the future. Thankfully, this must be done by conserving wildlife that makes up our food supplies. A large genetic variety of plants allows crops to be less vulnerable to pests and disease. Without this, diseases can attack individual plants and spread to other plants within a crop. Also, wildlife conservation provides access to new plants to add to our food supplies. Saving plants within our environment can provide us with ways to use the genetic components of different plants which could be crucial to help modify the crops that we use today.
