Biodiversity Hotspots
- Earth is home to millions of species of animals, varying from dense tropical rainforests to deep ocean ecosystems.
- The Amazon Basin, Congo Basin, and islands like Madagascar and Borneo are among the most biodiverse areas in the world
Conservation Efforts
- Global initiatives like CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) aim to ensure international trade does not threaten species’ survival.
- Many countries have established protected areas to conserve habitats critical to wildlife.
Success Stories

Challenges Facing Wildlife
The challenges facing wildlife, such as habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation, significantly contribute to the loss of biodiversity. These factors disrupt ecosystems, leading to a dramatic decline in species populations. The 2020 Living Planet Report by WWF highlights this issue, showing a 68% decrease in the population sizes of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish over a 46-year period.
