Wildlife in Danger

Introduction

Wildlife is in danger in all parts of the world due to human activities that include poaching, human encroachment of wildlife areas and global warming. Deforestation, poaching and pollution are some of the main reasons why some wildlife specifies are in danger of extinction. In addition, the encroachment of forests by human beings has also dealt a huge blow to the conservation of wildlife. Deforestation which is encouraged by most factories, since trees are used as raw materials, has seen some wildlife species migrating from one region to another. Similarly, the breeding patterns of some wild animals have also been affected thereby leading to extinction. Therefore everyone knows that the spirit of extinction is surrounding the wildlife nowadays because of human activities. The two potential solutions to this issue is consequently reducing global warming and protecting wildlife habitat.

Reducing Global Warming

Global warming is attributed to the release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which eventually leads to climate changes. Burning of fossil fuels releases fumes to the atmosphere which interfere with the ozone layer thus leading to direct rays from the sun. Global warming can only be reduced through the adoption of new types of eco-friendly fuel, and reduced emission of carbon into the atmosphere by factories (Chrisanne, 2019). It is basically caused when carbon dioxide as well as other air toxins and conservatory gases amass in the atmosphere thus engrossing sunlight and solar radiation that have bounded from the surface of the earth. The main cause of global warming is burning of fossil fuel to produce electricity particularly in developed countries. The amount of carbon released into the atmosphere while burning fossil fuels is huge, thus leading to global warming. Furthermore, factories release harmful gases into the atmosphere, leading to the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere which results into global warming.

Solution

The main solution to global warming is stopping deforestation and encouraging the planting of trees. Similarly. Illegal logging as well as fishing should also be dealt according to the rule of law. Governments should also enact laws that encourage low carbon emissions by factories into the atmosphere (Attfield, 2010). Finally, encourage people to use renewable energy, which may include the use of solar panels in lighting the house. In so doing the issue of global warming will reduce drastically. Wildlife habitats have been encroached due to overpopulation, which leads to reclamation animal land. Nonetheless, the demand for timber is also another cause, as people are forced to cut down trees thus interfering with the animals’ natural habitat.

Protect Wildlife Habitat

The most effective way of conserving wildlife habitat is through preserving the environs of the animals. This can be done through saving energy, adapting to reusing as well as recycling and avoiding disposing off waste materials carelessly. In addition, the government should also enact laws which protect animals from poaching and deforestation (Huffman, 2019).

Solution

Deforestation is a critical issue when it comes to matters protecting animal habitat. This is so because, forests provide a natural habitat for most animal species. Moreover, cutting down trees leads to climate changes, which eventually leads to migration and extinction of most wild animals. For instance, animals which are adapted to rainy forest cannot survive in semi-arid areas, this would lead them into extinction. Secondly, waste materials should be disposed of correctly, as this may interfere with the breeding animals of fish in the ocean (Chrisanne, 2019). Finally, security should be enhanced in the forests, thus keeping away poachers.

Conclusion

As discussed in the paper, reducing global warming and protecting wildlife can positively impact animal extinction. This is however not as easy as it seems since it requires maximum cooperation between human beings and the authorities in general. Illegal logging being the main cause of animal extinction should consequently be highly discouraged. Furthermore, the government should also come up with strict measures of protecting human encroachment of wildlife habitat. People should also adapt the use of alternative fuel rather than fossils, henceforth reducing the emission of carbon into the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels. In so doing, global warming will be a problem of the past, and wild animals will live peacefully.
