Threats to wildlife

Wildlife faces several threats, most of which are caused by human activity. Hunting, habitat degradation, deforestation, pollution, and overuse of natural resource are some the main dangers. Habitat loss results from the growth of human settlements for agriculture and urbanization which make it more difficult for animals to exist. Important ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest are destroyed as a result of deforestation as a result of deforestation, especially for farming. Wildlife is also seriously threatened by pollution, which includes pesticides used in agriculture, toxins from industries and plastic trash. These risks are made worse by climate change, which alters habitats and temperatures and make it harder for species to adapt. To reduce these threats and save species, governments and non-governmental organizations must focus on conservation.

Type of Threats of Wildlife

1. Lack of Conservation Efforts- without strong protection policies and action from governments and NGOs, these threats continue to grow.             
2.  Invasive Species- Non-native species introduced by human activity can outcompete or prey on native wildlife, disrupting ecosystems.                                  
3. Overuse of Natural resources- excessive logging, mining, and water use deplete the resources that many species depend on for survival.
