Conservations Vs. Preservation
By: Claudia Davis
Wildlife(:
Wildlife helps in maintaining a balanced level of species and their population. Predators and prey is one example. Predators hunt animals and that helps keeping the numbers of species good. Without predators, the population of the animals that they would hunt would sky rocket. Food would become scarce, and eventually, that species would die out. Hunting is another example for all the same reasons as predators. Hunting is a good thing in helping to maintain a healthy population. Although season regulations are in place, it helps. The season regulations are set to tell hunters when they can and can not hunt. If hunting was allowed all the time, there would eventually be no more animals left to hunt, leaving the predators with no food and they would die out. Biodiversity is the variety of species in a environment, and the more, the better.
~Conservation in wildlife~
Conservation in wildlife is the effort that humans put into protecting the Earth's natural & biological diversity. These efforts aim more towards endangered animals, and the plants and natural habitats of the creatures that live in them. Studies and tests are run to see what animals are in need of protection. Scientist study different animals in the 7 kingdoms to find more information about them so we can have a better understanding about them, and so we can figure out appropriate ways to help the environment. This doesn't go for just endangered species, all animals are studied and are helped in any way possible. Hunting laws, "No Go" zones and other things are created for the safety of animal populations.
~Preservation in wildlife~
Wildlife preservation is a very important thing to insure that endangered animals, and natural habitats for other animals are protected. Yellowstone park is an example of a wildlife preservation park. Scientist there study the biology of specials that live there, as well as relocated animals that biologist and scientists moved there many years ago. Species thrive there and without a worry of humans coming to hunt them. Another example of a wildlife preserve would be Denali Nation Park in Denali Alaska. The park is filled with animals, lakes, vegetation, etc. Polar bears are an endangers species in Alaska due to "Global Warming" as some people believe..... But also are endangered due to poachers, and a scarcity of food. Denali National Park works to keep polar bears safe from poachers in the park.
Denali Alaska
This a picture taken from Denali National Park in Alaska. In Denali National Park, there is a wildlife conservation center. This area in untouched by civilization. Plants, animals and the Earth here are just as they would be without human contact. Alaska holds the most untouched land by humans in America. That's why Alaska is called "The last American frontier.
Florida preserve
Manatees are an endangered species due to getting ran over by boats, getting caught in fishing nets, etc. Florida Marine Biologists set up guidelines for fishers & boaters like boundaries. The guidelines cant save every Manatee, but it's conserving them. Aquariums around the US hold Manatees there and breed them to help the populations numbers go up.
Hon Kong Panda nature park.
The Hon Kong Panda nature park is a park only for Panda bears. Chinese biologists raises Panda's here in hope to make the popularization rise. When a Panda bear is critically injured in the wild, they are taken here to be treated, and later be released back into the wild when they are well enough. The efforts of these people are paying off, the the Panda population is slowing fluctuating in this area. Biologists hope to get the population of Giant Pandas to a healthy number again.
Polar Bears
Polar bears are an endangered species. Wildlife preserves around the world breed polar bears, and do studies to help to get a better understanding of these amazing creatures. Some say that global warming is the cause because its melting their home. Others say its poaching. Whatever the reason is, this species in endangered, and the efforts of humans are slowing paying off.
Yellowstone
This is a picture of Beehive geyser in Yellowstone National park. Is a natural geyser that's preserved in the park. Yellow Stone holds a huge number of natural geysers, and its a major attraction to the park.
World Wide Fund for Nature
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an organization that works to protect endangered animals, natural habitats and over all just the whole ecosystem. They study animals to see which are endangered, and work fast to get States/Countries to set up laws to protect these animals. They own several wildlife conservation and preservation sites.
