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

Conservation efforts have led to the recovery of some species, such as the giant panda in China and the bald eagle in the United States.

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.
