As part of the ecosystem, all living beings have the right to survive. A force in the world can claim the life of a living creature, be it an animal, bird, or human being. Even mute animals have reasons and purposes to survive. So if they are uselessly harmed then humans have to protest against that. The wildlife must be saved through protection laws and creating specific spaces for them.

Several campaigns like ‘’ save animals’’ are produced often to rescue wildlife from unnecessary hunting, skinning, and selling of animals. Excessive violence towards the animals will lead to the disbalance of the ecosystem. Thus wildlife sanctuaries, bird museums, reserve forests, and zoos are created for the preservation of animals.

As human beings, it is our responsibility to create a safe and secure place for all living beings on earth. We must remember that we share the earth with different parts of the ecosystem. The ecosystem includes flora and fauna; the fauna again has several animals and birds to survive on earth.

While humans are rational creatures, they also must keep their aggression against animals in check. They must remember one thing for sure- that they share the earth with everyone. Animals and birds are not provided with a more thoughtful system so that they can protect themselves. So often they are victims of hunting and poaching. They are sold at high rates and killed for human benefit.

Killing and selling animals have a huge demand in the local as well as the international markets. The tusks, skins, nails, teeth, and other parts of the animal body are used to manufacture different products for decoration. But while humans enjoy these products, we forget how we are affecting the ecosystem of the earth.

Even the loss of one animal can lead to severe imbalances in the food chain of the world. Thus saving animals is one of the primary duties of all human beings. If we pledge to care for them, then they can find a more secure place on earth. Saving the animals is our biggest virtue.

Nowadays several issues and problems on earth get covered by the media and campaigns. One of the most significant campaigns that often attracts our attention is the ‘’save animals’’ campaign, which is organized in several parts of the world. Now, why is it important to save the animals or what outcome will that bring if we save animals? Let us discuss this in greater detail.

When the earth was first created several life forms started occupying it. The world was soon populated by ye smallest as well as the largest creatures. While the microscopic organisms survived beyond our notice, huge animals like the dinosaurs and even the most intelligent animals such as humans both survived on earth at different periods of time.

So humans are equipped with the power to rescue all animals on the earth. It is one of the most important duties of humans to look after their fellow beings that they are surrounded. The campaigns conducted for the safety of animals are important which helps to spread awareness regarding them. 

Animal safety is important as they build up our ecosystem and a little imbalance in their quantity can create a great problem in the life cycle of the earth. Often laws are made to deforest several acres of land and also to hunt a specific group of animals for human benefit. Recently a law has been published in Canada to hunt and kill several wolves for making some industries.

Almost immediately several campaigns were organized to protect the rights of the wild animals. Pledges were signed, petitions were written, and campaign walks were organized to save wildlife. So it becomes quite important for humans to consider the safety of the animals as well as themselves.

Animals are mostly terrified of hunting and poaching. Baby animals are targeted the most. They are hunted and often trapped for selling them to circus companies. Even these cubs are killed for their meat and skin, which have huge demands in the market. The skins, teeth, nails, hooves, tusks, and meat are sold for creating sophisticated things. Also, deforestation is a principal reason for the depletion of animals. 

Hence what is the greatest duty is to reduce human aggression towards animals as they are all parts of the same nature we use. Like our blood relatives, these animals are related to us. So protecting them is our primary job. If animals are saved then we can create great harmony between ourselves and the world. 

Hopefully, after going through this session, all your doubts have been resolved. If you still have any, kindly let me know through some quick comments. I will try to attend to your query as soon as possible. Keep browsing our website for more such sessions on various other types of English comprehension.

The Real Case for Saving Species: We Don’t Need Them, But They Need Us

Conservationists argue that humans need to save species in order to save ourselves. The truth is we could survive without wild species — but they can’t survive without us, and the moral argument for protecting them and the beauty they bring to the world is overwhelming.

By Carl Safina • October 21, 2019

I recently visited a museum exhibit on big cats. A sign featuring a beautiful jaguar asked, “Why should we care about wild cats?” Its answer: “Because in protecting big cats, we are protecting ourselves.”

Is that really true? That implies big cats are in trouble because “we” don’t care to protect ourselves. And if it turns out that we don’t really need jaguars in order to protect ourselves, have they lost their case for existence?

For decades, many conservationists have been trying to sell a clumsy, fumbling appeal to self-interest: the idea that human beings need wild nature, need wild animals, need the species on endangered lists. “If they go extinct, we’ll go extinct,” is a common refrain. The only problem: it’s false.

We drove the most abundant bird in the Americas — the passenger pigeon — to extinction. The most abundant large mammal — the American bison — to functional extinction. We gained: agriculture, and safety for cows, from sea to shining sea. Who misses the Eskimo curlew? Indeed, who knows they existed, their vast migrating flocks like smoke on the now-gone prairies? That experiment is done.

Billions of people want what you and I got in exchange: health and wealth and education. We now live the way most other people on the planet wish to live. Governments, institutions, and regular people have cheered the material expansion that has cost many species (and tribal peoples) everything. We have endangered species not because what is bad for them is bad for us, but because the opposite is true: what is bad for them has fueled the explosive growth and maintenance of human populations and technologies. We are losing many species along the way to humanity’s only three apparent real goals: bigger, faster, more. Propelling the human juggernaut has entailed wiping many species out of the way. People live at high densities in places devoid of wild species and natural beauty. Human beings have thrived by destroying nature. When the animals and open spaces go, we have industrial-scale farms and factories, ball fields and strip malls and quick-lubes. How could saving this or that endangered species, that is following those whose oblivion brought fast food and sneakers, be a matter of — of all things — saving ourselves? Telling people that “we” need jaguars to “protect ourselves?” That’s a hard sell. We don’t need them.

I can’t name a single wild species whose total disappearance would be materially felt by, essentially, anyone.

There is no species whose disappearance has posed much of an inconvenience for civilization, not a single wild species that people couldn’t do without, fewer whose erasure would be noticed by any but a handful of die-hard conservationists or scientists. The irrelevance of wild things to civil society is why endangered species never make it into polls of top public priorities. I can’t name one wild species whose total disappearance would be materially felt by, essentially, anyone (you can easily function without having access to elephants, but if you misplace your phone for one whole day, it’s personal chaos). But I can effortlessly list various species from tigers to mosquitoes whose annihilation has been diligently pursued. Annihilation comes easy to Homo sapiens. What’s of little interest for us is coexistence.

I have seen with my own eyes that the role of elephants as ecosystem engineers affecting all animals on the African savannas matters not at all to people converting bushland into vulnerable subsistence gardens or, more decisively, into large commercial farms raising flowers destined for vases on the tables of Europe. Think of your favorite species. Gorillas? Sperm whales? Hyacinth macaws? Karner blue butterflies? Billions of people never give them a thought.

Only a tiny minority of people actually work with wild creatures, as ecologists, conservation biologists, wildlife rehabilitators, falconers, or even fishermen (oddly and not coincidentally I’ve been all of those.) On an average day, animals and plants must put up or be pushed out. In most countries, few wild things can “provide” to humans anything more valued than their carcasses. Many major American tree species have disappeared or nearly so (American elm, American chestnut, eastern hemlock, for instance). Ash trees are now disappearing and the main pain-point for humanity is nothing more than angst for the future of baseball bats.

Lest anyone misread me: this predicament is catastrophic.

It is of course true that the things that are bad for nature as a whole — degradation of land and soil, polluted water and air — are bad for people ultimately . A total breakdown of living systems would mean a breakdown of human economies, and indications are it likely will. But “ultimately” is very far down the line, long after we’ve lost all the big animals, wild lands, viable ocean habitats, and the world’s living beauty. The human juggernaut can continue to blow through rhinos, parrots, elephants, lions, and apes and hardly feel a breeze. The most charismatic species all stand at or near historic lows and humans are at our historic high, two facts that are sides of the same coin. Claiming that people depend on wild nature is nice, but dependence on wild nature ended, and not well, generations ago. What keeps most people going is farming felling, pumping, and mining.

Far down the line when the land is exhausted and there’s no water on an overheated planet, there may be a great reckoning. It’s easy enough to hear the rumbles now. But even the recent hurricanes and fires that have left communities seemingly beyond recovery have not shaken the deniers. In this country, government disdain for natural places and species, and official ennui about the human health effects of environmental degradation, are worst-ever. And the current rollbacks remain too weakly opposed; most people don’t feel affected. Most of wild nature could be gone long before the human species confronts an existential cliff.

What a grim world it will be by the time we’re down to what humans need. Human need is a very poor metric for evaluating the existence of living things.

The natural services humans actually need to fuel modern living come from microbes of decay, a few main insect pollinators, the ocean’s photosynthesizing plankton, and non-living things like water and the atmosphere. Eventually we may well simplify the world to the bare essentials, and it will still support billions more people. Indeed, that’s the only way it can.

What a grim world it will be by the time we’re down to what humans need. Which only shows that human need is a very poor metric for evaluating the existence of living things. Ask living creatures to justify their existence in terms of human need; they lose.

So, in what bleak terrain does this leave us? The law that has been called the gold standard of species protection, the U. S. Endangered Species Act, doesn’t begin to get interested until after a species, considered in isolation, is already in dire straits. Then it sets a floor, measuring success as mere existence. A wiser law would target an aspirational ceiling of robust, resilient populations across broad, intact scapes of viable lands and productive waters.

Yet when applied in good faith it works. It works because of something many environmentalists have forgotten, most average people never think about, and most politicians are incapable of learning: it works because it doesn’t ask a species to prove its usefulness, what they’re good for, or how much money they’re worth. The act doesn’t say that we need them. It acknowledges that we harm them. In its first words, “The Congress finds and declares that various species of fish, wildlife, and plants in the United States have been rendered extinct as a consequence of economic growth.” It says that recovery plans shall “give priority to… particularly those species that are, or may be in conflict with construction or other development projects or other forms of economic activity.”

Yet many conservationists continue trying to make the flimsy case that we need endangered species. And because the argument is false, it can be a counterproductive pandering to the self-interest of people who simply won’t care. “Prove that I need some endangered snail or whale.” You can’t.

Fortunately, you don’t have to. The argument was decided decades ago, by Congress on behalf of all Americans, in favor of what you and I care about. The Endangered Species Act doesn’t claim that our existence depends on the existence of wild species. It says that we, the people, don’t let species go extinct, that this is who we are. It’s not about practicality; it’s about morality. The moral compass of species stewardship or loss is already mainstream — loss is bad. Conservationists and rank-and-file nature lovers should not pick that scab by trying to show that nature can and must serve us. The law says we need to serve nature. That’s a lot to work with.

Of course, laws are only as strong as the support they have. Conservationists must not only remind themselves that the law guides policy based on moral principle; they must continue to make the wide case for that underlying moral principle. When people say, “What good are they. They’re in the way!,” conservation needs a stronger argument than an appeal to self interest. Self interest has already been considered and nature has lost. Oil palms make money; never mind orangutans. We don’t need orangutans in order to “protect ourselves.” Orangutans need us to protect them.

But how best to press the case for life on Earth?

Humans have considered ourselves the most moral of species. A moral species has moral obligations. Despite capitalism’s appeal to self-interest, religions continue to assert the primacy of right and wrong. It may be that in our social species the only thing capable of standing up to pure self-interest is moral suasion. But what religions have underplayed — and indeed some have disdained — is seeing the physical world as sacred. On this planet where astrobiologists detect no other life in the galaxy, the rarity and perhaps even uniqueness of life in the universe makes Earth a sacred place. All known meaning in the universe is generated here, because this is the only living planet.

Winning the war against the natural in pursuit of accelerated material living, we lose the beauty that makes living worthwhile.

Although wild nature is not necessary for human survival, it is necessary for human dignity. Some of the grimmest places for human existence are those where nature has been scorched. People can lose their dignity in various ways, including oppressive governments. But oppressive surroundings are sufficient.

Zoom out from “endangered species” to the big picture. Abundant multitudes of species, wild things in wild places, anchor beauty to the face of this planet. What is true is this: Wild things create and live in the remaining beautiful places. As wild animals disappear, what is lost is the world’s beauty. Winning the war against the natural in pursuit of accelerated material living, we lose the beauty that makes living worthwhile.

That is not trivial. It is the most profound thing on Earth.

Ecology — living relationships and reliances — may be the only concept containing sufficient scope for a future worth humanly living. Ecology is most easily perceived by this shorthand: natural beauty. Each of our senses has ways of informing us what is good and bad. Our sense of smell evolved to sense things good for us as smelling pleasant and bad as smelling putrid. Our mind evolved the ability to combine all our sense into one overall detector of what is good in the world, and that best overarching sense is what we call “beauty.” As the beauty of the world drains away, we become less than human in the long run. And part of the long run is now.

Beauty is the single criterion that best captures all our deepest concerns and highest hopes. Beauty encompasses the continued existence of free-living things, adaptation, and human dignity. Really, beauty is simple litmus for the presence of things that matter.

If a future reckoning arrives for the human species, as seems likely, it will come because we asked life to prove its value compared to ever-more corn and shopping discounts, but could not hear the real answer. It will come because we did not see our planetary miracle as sacred.

Endangered species and wild things in the remaining wild places need us to care for them not selfishly but selflessly, for their sake, the sake of everything and everyone who is not us, for the sake of beauty and all it implies. As we make our habitual appeals to practicality, the argument we cannot afford to ignore, the one that must frequently be on our lips, is this: We live in a sacred miracle. We should act accordingly.

Meanwhile, a few things are right. Within the last few weeks, the long-endangered Kirtland’s warbler came off the endangered species list. This didn’t happen because we needed them. It happened because the Endangered Species Act determined that when species need us, we shall go to their aid. It happened, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced, because, “Kirtland’s warbler has responded well to active management over the past 50 years.” Before the Endangered Species Act, the species was down to 200 singing males. The population has increased more than tenfold, not because we needed Kirtland’s warbler, but because we understood that Kirtland’s warbler needed us. We understood our moral responsibility and commitment to keep a tiny bird in the world with us. Many would say that the warbler doesn’t matter to us. But the people who won the argument on behalf of the bird were those who argued and acted on the premise that we mattered to the warbler. Nothing else could have worked.

Conserving Earth

Earth’s natural resources include air, water, soil, minerals, plants, and animals. Conservation is the practice of caring for these resources so all living things can benefit from them now and in the future.

Earth ’s natural resources include air , water , soil , minerals , fuels , plants, and animals. Conservation is the practice of caring for these resources so all living things can benefit from them now and in the future. All the things we need to survive , such as food , water, air, and shelter , come from natural resources. Some of these resources, like small plants, can be replaced quickly after they are used. Others, like large trees, take a long time to replace. These are renewable resources . Other resources, such as fossil fuels , cannot be replaced at all. Once they are used up, they are gone f orever . These are nonrenewable resources . People often waste natural resources. Animals are overhunted . Forests are cleared, exposing land to wind and water damage. Fertile soil is exhausted and lost to erosion because of poor farming practices. Fuel supplies are depleted . Water and air are polluted . If resources are carelessly managed, many will be used up. If used wisely and efficiently , however, renewable resources will last much longer. Through conservation, people can reduce waste and manage natural resources wisely. The population of human beings has grown enormously in the past two centuries. Billions of people use up resources quickly as they eat food, build houses, produce goods, and burn fuel for transportation and electricity . The continuation of life as we know it depends on the careful use of natural resources. The need to conserve resources often conflicts with other needs. For some people, a wooded area may be a good place to put a farm. A timber company may want to harvest the area’s trees for construction materials. A business may want to build a factory or shopping mall on the land. All these needs are valid, but sometimes the plants and animals that live in the area are forgotten. The benefits of development need to be weighed against the harm to animals that may be forced to find new habitats , the depletion of resources we may want in the future (such as water or timber), or damage to resources we use today. Development and conservation can coexist in harmony. When we use the environment in ways that ensure we have resources for the future, it is called sustainable development . There are many different resources we need to conserve in order to live sustainably. Forests A forest is a large area covered with trees grouped so their foliage shades the ground. Every continent except Antarctica has forests, from the evergreen -filled boreal forests of the north to mangrove forests in tropical wetlands . Forests are home to more than two-thirds of all known land species . Tropical rainforests are especially rich in biodiversity . Forests provide habitats for animals and plants. They store carbon , helping reduce global warming . They protect soil by reducing runoff . They add nutrients to the soil through leaf litter . They provide people with lumber and firewood. Deforestation is the process of clearing away forests by cutting them down or burning them. People clear forests to use the wood, or to make way for farming or development. Each year, Earth loses about 14.6 million hectares (36 million acres) of forest to deforestation—an area about the size of the U.S. state of New York. Deforestation destroys wildlife habitats and increases soil erosion. It also releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere , contributing to global warming. Deforestation accounts for 15 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation also harms the people who rely on forests for their survival, hunting and gathering, harvesting forest products, or using the timber for firewood. About half of all the forests on Earth are in the tropics —an area that circles the globe near the Equator . Although tropical forests cover fewer than 6 percent of the world’s land area, they are home to about 80 percent of the world’s documented species. For example, more than 500 different species of trees live in the forests on the small U.S. island of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea. Tropical forests give us many valuable products, including woods like mahogany and teak , rubber , fruits, nuts, and flowers. Many of the medicines we use today come from plants found only in tropical rainforests. These include quinine , a malaria drug; curare , an anesthetic used in surgery; and rosy periwinkle , which is used to treat certain types of cancer . Sustainable forestry practices are critical for ensuring we have these resources well into the future. One of these practices is leaving some trees to die and decay naturally in the forest. This “ deadwood ” builds up soil. Other sustainable forestry methods include using low-impact logging practices, harvesting with natural regeneration in mind, and avoiding certain logging techniques , such as removing all the high-value trees or all the largest trees from a forest. Trees can also be conserved if consumers recycle . People in China and Mexico, for example, reuse much of their wastepaper, including writing paper, wrapping paper, and cardboard. If half the world’s paper were recycled, much of the worldwide demand for new paper would be fulfilled, saving many of Earth’s trees. We can also replace some wood products with alternatives like bamboo , which is actually a type of grass. Soil Soil is vital to food production. We need high-quality soil to grow the crops that we eat and feed to livestock . Soil is also important to plants that grow in the wild. Many other types of conservation efforts, such as plant conservation and animal conservation, depend on soil conservation. Poor farming methods, such as repeatedly planting the same crop in the same place, called monoculture , deplete nutrients in the soil. Soil erosion by water and wind increases when farmers plow up and down hills. One soil conservation method is called contour strip cropping . Several crops, such as corn, wheat, and clover , are planted in alternating strips across a slope or across the path of the prevailing wind . Different crops, with different root systems and leaves, help slow erosion.

Harvesting all the trees from a large area, a practice called clearcutting , increases the chances of losing productive topsoil to wind and water erosion. Selective harvesting —the practice of removing individual trees or small groups of trees—leaves other trees standing to anchor the soil. Biodiversity Biodiversity is the variety of living things that populate Earth. The products and benefits we get from nature rely on biodiversity. We need a rich mixture of living things to provide foods, building materials, and medicines, as well as to maintain a clean and healthy landscape . When a species becomes extinct , it is lost to the world forever. Scientists estimate that the current rate of extinction is 1,000 times the natural rate. Through hunting, pollution , habitat destruction, and contribution to global warming, people are speeding up the loss of biodiversity at an alarming rate. It’s hard to know how many species are going extinct because the total number of species is unknown. Scientists discover thousands of new species every year. For example, after looking at just 19 trees in Panama, scientists found 1,200 different species of beetles—80 percent of them unknown to science at the time. Based on various estimates of the number of species on Earth, we could be losing anywhere from 200 to 100,000 species each year. We need to protect biodiversity to ensure we have plentiful and varied food sources. This is true even if we don’t eat a species threatened with extinction because something we do eat may depend on that species for survival. Some predators are useful for keeping the populations of other animals at manageable levels. The extinction of a major predator might mean there are more herbivores looking for food in people’s gardens and farms. Biodiversity is important for more than just food. For instance, we use between 50,000 to 70,000 plant species for medicines worldwide. The Great Barrier Reef , a coral reef off the coast of northeastern Australia, contributes about $6 billion to the nation’s economy through commercial fishing , tourism , and other recreational activities. If the coral reef dies, many of the fish, shellfish , marine mammals , and plants will die, too. Some governments have established parks and preserves to protect wildlife and their habitats. They are also working to abolish hunting and fishing practices that may cause the extinction of some species. Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels are fuels produced from the remains of ancient plants and animals. They include coal , petroleum (oil), and natural gas . People rely on fossil fuels to power vehicles like cars and airplanes, to produce electricity, and to cook and provide heat. In addition, many of the products we use today are made from petroleum. These include plastics , synthetic rubber, fabrics like nylon , medicines, cosmetics , waxes, cleaning products, medical devices, and even bubblegum.

Fossil fuels formed over millions of years. Once we use them up, we cannot replace them. Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource. We need to conserve fossil fuels so we don’t run out. However, there are other good reasons to limit our fossil fuel use. These fuels pollute the air when they are burned. Burning fossil fuels also releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Global warming is changing ecosystems . The oceans are becoming warmer and more acidic , which threatens sea life. Sea levels are rising, posing risks to coastal communities. Many areas are experiencing more droughts , while others suffer from flooding . Scientists are exploring alternatives to fossil fuels. They are trying to produce renewable biofuels to power cars and trucks. They are looking to produce electricity using the sun, wind, water, and geothermal energy — Earth’s natural heat. Everyone can help conserve fossil fuels by using them carefully. Turn off lights and other electronics when you are not using them. Purchase energy-efficient appliances and weatherproof your home. Walk, ride a bike, carpool , and use public transportation whenever possible. Minerals Earth’s supply of raw mineral resources is in danger. Many mineral deposits that have been located and mapped have been depleted. As the ores for minerals like aluminum and iron become harder to find and extract , their prices skyrocket . This makes tools and machinery more expensive to purchase and operate. Many mining methods, such as mountaintop removal mining (MTR) , devastate the environment. They destroy soil, plants, and animal habitats. Many mining methods also pollute water and air, as toxic chemicals leak into the surrounding ecosystem. Conservation efforts in areas like Chile and the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States often promote more sustainable mining methods. Less wasteful mining methods and the recycling of materials will help conserve mineral resources. In Japan, for example, car manufacturers recycle many raw materials used in making automobiles. In the United States, nearly one-third of the iron produced comes from recycled automobiles. Electronic devices present a big problem for conservation because technology changes so quickly. For example, consumers typically replace their cell phones every 18 months. Computers, televisions, and mp3 players are other products contributing to “ e-waste .” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that Americans generated more than three million tons of e-waste in 2007. Electronic products contain minerals as well as petroleum-based plastics. Many of them also contain hazardous materials that can leach out of landfills into the soil and water supply. Many governments are passing laws requiring manufacturers to recycle used electronics. Recycling not only keeps materials out of landfills, but it also reduces the energy used to produce new products. For instance, recycling aluminum saves 90 percent of the energy that would be required to mine new aluminum.

Water Water is a renewable resource. We will not run out of water the way we might run out of fossil fuels. The amount of water on Earth always remains the same. However, most of the planet’s water is unavailable for human use. While more than 70 percent of Earth’s surface is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is freshwater . Out of that freshwater, almost 70 percent is permanently frozen in the ice caps covering Antarctica and Greenland. Only about 1 percent of the freshwater on Earth is available for people to use for drinking, bathing, and irrigating crops. People in many regions of the world suffer water shortages . These are caused by depletion of underground water sources known as aquifers , a lack of rainfall due to drought, or pollution of water supplies. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 2.6 billion people lack adequate water sanitation . More than five million people die each year from diseases caused by using polluted water for drinking, cooking, or washing. About one-third of Earth’s population lives in areas that are experiencing water stress . Most of these areas are in developing countries. Polluted water hurts the environment as well as people. For instance, agricultural runoff—the water that runs off of farmland—can contain fertilizers and pesticides . When this water gets into streams , rivers , and oceans, it can harm the organisms that live in or drink from those water sources. People can conserve and protect water supplies in many ways. Individuals can limit water use by fixing leaky faucets, taking shorter showers, planting drought-resistant plants, and buying low-water-use appliances. Governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations can help developing countries build sanitation facilities. Farmers can change some of their practices to reduce polluted runoff. This includes limiting overgrazing , avoiding over-irrigation, and using alternatives to chemical pesticides whenever possible. Conservation Groups Businesses, international organizations , and some governments are involved in conservation efforts. The United Nations (UN) encourages the creation of national parks around the world. The UN also established World Water Day, an event to raise awareness and promote water conservation. Governments enact laws defining how land should be used and which areas should be set aside as parks and wildlife preserves. Governments also enforce laws designed to protect the environment from pollution, such as requiring factories to install pollution-control devices. Finally, governments often provide incentives for conserving resources, using clean technologies, and recycling used goods. Many international organizations are dedicated to conservation. Members support causes such as saving rain forests, protecting threatened animals, and cleaning up the air. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an alliance of governments and private groups founded in 1948. The IUCN works to protect wildlife and habitats. In 1980, the group proposed a world conservation strategy . Many governments have used the IUCN model to develop their own conservation plans. In addition, the IUCN monitors the status of endangered wildlife, threatened national parks and preserves, and other environments around the world. Zoos and botanical gardens also work to protect wildlife. Many zoos raise and breed endangered animals to increase their populations. They conduct research and help educate the public about endangered species . For instance, the San Diego Zoo in the U.S. state of California runs a variety of research programs on topics ranging from disease control in amphibians to heart-healthy diets for gorillas. Scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in London, England, work to protect plant life around the world. Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank , for example, works with partners in 54 countries to protect biodiversity through seed collection. Kew researchers are also exploring how DNA technology can help restore damaged habitats. Individuals can do many things to help conserve resources. Turning off lights, repairing leaky faucets, and recycling paper, aluminum cans, glass, and plastic are just a few examples. Riding bikes, walking, carpooling, and using public transportation all help conserve fuel and reduce the amount of pollutants released into the environment. Individuals can plant trees to create homes for birds and squirrels. At grocery stores, people can bring their own reusable bags. And people can carry reusable water bottles and coffee mugs rather than using disposable containers. If each of us would conserve in small ways, the result would be a major conservation effort.

Tree Huggers The Chipko Movement, which is dedicated to saving trees, was started by villagers in Uttar Pradesh, India. Chipko means hold fast or embrace. The villagers flung their arms around trees to keep loggers from cutting them down. The villagers won, and Uttar Pradesh banned the felling of trees in the Himalayan foothills. The movement has since expanded to other parts of India.

Thirsty Food People require about 2 to 4 liters of drinking water each day. However, a day's worth of food requires 2,000 to 5,000 liters of water to produce. It takes more water to produce meat than to produce plant-based foods.

Tiger, Tiger Tigers are dangerous animals, but they have more to fear from us than we have to fear from them. Today there are only about 3,200 tigers living in the wild. Three tiger subspecies the Bali, Caspian, and Javan tigers have gone extinct in the past century. Many organizations are working hard to protect the remaining tigers from illegal hunting and habitat loss.

Turning waste into wealth: World Habitat Day focus on cleaning up cities

Lago Mayor de Chapultepec, Mexico City.

Facebook Twitter Print Email

Waste can have a devastating effect on public health, the environment, and the climate, but cutting-edge innovation and technology can provide improved, cheaper solutions to the challenge, and help cities and communities to see waste as a business opportunity. This was the message marking World Habitat Day , on Monday, with a focus on waste management.

"We must reduce the amount of waste we produce", said UN Secretary-General António Guterres in a statement. "And, at the same time, start seeing it as a valuable resource that can be re-used and recycled, including for energy".

Linked to the International Day, UN-Habitat , the United Nations agency for human settlements, has launched a " Waste Wise Cities " campaign, to address the increasing challenges of coping with solid waste.

As part of the campaign, cities are invited to confirm their commitment to uphold a set of principles. These include assessing the quantity and type of waste, improving waste collection, ensuring cities are environmentally safe, and implementing waste-to-energy schemes.

The campaign notes that dealing with waste eats up a significant proportion of city budgets, and that waste management is not being sufficiently financed. So-called "frontier technologies", however, can provide cost-effective answers to the problem of how to clean up cities.

Examples include automation and artificial intelligence which, when used together, can help sort recyclables more efficiently. Smart packaging is another potential solution, using sensors to help reduce the amount of food thrown away, and innovative new technologies which can turn organic waste into renewable energy and compost.

The technology also provides an opportunity for newer, rapidly-growing cities in developing countries to "leapfrog" older cities, by taking advantage of the latest solutions and avoiding more established, but less efficient methods.

Using these tools effectively, said the UN chief on Monday, can help us to build well-planned and smartly managed cities, which can steer us towards inclusive growth, and low-emission development.

The potential benefits of frontier technologies for developing countries are outlined in the UN’s 2018 World Economic and Social Survey , which concludes that they can help the world to change for the better, and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and address climate change.

The study also warns that the widespread introduction of these tools must be accompanied by appropriate, effective policies, to help countries to avoid pitfalls and minimize the economic and social costs of technology-related disruption.

United for Conservation. SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund

Species extinction worldwide is proceeding at a rapid pace – part of a catastrophic environmental record for humanity alive today. The drastic decline and extinction of species and wild areas that are part of a diverse and complex ecosystem have serious consequences for all living things. Our ecosystems, and therefore our livelihoods, are perishing as a result.

Since the end of 2010, we have been launching projects with our foundation that serve to protect species. Our experience since then has taught us many things, above all that species conservation is inextricably linked with development work and education. This is the basis of all our work – our active project work, intensive education, research and the promotion of commitment. We want to move people to action and call on governments and consumers to take more responsibility!

6 Ways Trees Benefit All of Us

From a city park to a vast forest, trees deliver for us when we help them thrive.

October 09, 2020

Several people sit on a grassy hill under the shade of large trees. The New York City skyline is in the distance.

Trees have been with us throughout our whole lives. They’re the background of a favorite memory and that welcome patch of green our eyes seek as we gaze out our windows—an activity we’re doing a lot these days.

While they are silent and stationary, trees hold tremendous powers, including the power to make all our lives better and healthier.

If a tree has power, a forest has even more. What superpowers do trees have?

A Valdivian Coastal Reserve park guard stands between two giant Alerce trees covered in moss and leaves.

#1: Trees eat the greenhouse gases that cause climate change—for breakfast.

More like breakfast, lunch and dinner. Trees’ food-making process, photosynthesis, involves absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in its wood. Trees and plants will store this carbon dioxide throughout their lives, helping slow the gas’s buildup in our atmosphere that has been rapidly warming our planet.

Smarter management of trees, plants and soil in the US alone could store the equivalent carbon of taking 57 million cars off the road ! Trees are looking out for us so we have to look out for them. Older, larger trees store a lot more carbon than young trees, so it’s important that in addition to planting new trees, we conserve and protect the giants of our forests like these ancient trees in South Carolina .

People lounge in the shade  of trees on Billings Lawn of Fort Tryon Park. The Hudson River in New York is visible.

#2: Trees boost our mental health while raising our physical health.

A healthy tree can lead to a healthy you and me. A study by a TNC scientist shows that time in nature—like a walk among the trees in a city park—correlates with a drop in anxiety and depression.

The good news: it doesn’t take a lot of time in nature for these soothing powers to kick in. You may have felt the benefits from a short walk or hike in your neighborhood. We’re drawn to green spaces, and for good reason.

Trees are more than just trees. 🌲🌳🌴 (video via @Nature_IL ) pic.twitter.com/tE6Fibu5kA — The Nature Conservancy (@nature_org) August 24, 2020

Access to nearby green space also contributes to better physical health by encouraging us to move around and exercise. Because we move around more when we have access to trees and parks, nature can help lower rates of obesity.

#3: Trees clean the air so we can breathe more easily.

Leave it to leaves. Trees remove the kind of air pollution that is most dangerous to our lungs: particulate matter. This pollution arises from the burning of fossil fuels, and can reach dangerous concentrations in the largest cities as well as in neighborhoods near highways and factories .

Your Dollars at Work

TNC is in the middle of the first controlled experiment testing neighborhood tree planting for health benefits  in the same way that a new pharmaceutical drug would be tested.

Tree’s leaves will filter this dangerous pollution, but only if they’re planted near the people who need them; most of the filtration occurs within 100 feet of a tree. More trees in cities, especially in lower-income neighborhoods close to highways and factories, can reduce ailments like asthma and heart disease that cause 5% of deaths worldwide.

Fallen trees on a forest floor, covered in moss and surrounded by dead leaves and bare tree trunks.

#4: Trees give a home to the wildlife we love.

From our windows, many of us can see how much our feathered and furry neighbors enjoy their ‘high-rise apartments.’ Even a single tree can provide vital habitat for countless species.

An intact forest can do even more, creating a home for some of the most diverse and resilient webs of life on the planet. Old-growth forests, the forests that we need to protect most urgently, create habitat at the ground level, at the top of their tree canopies, and everywhere in between. All of these different types of habitat in a single area allow so many diverse species to thrive .

A shaded street in Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York City, lined with many tall trees.

#5: Trees cool down your life, and could even save it.

Trees give us all shade—and that’s a good thing! Temperatures are rising and heatwaves are getting longer due to climate change. Some places feel the heat more than others. Neighborhoods with lots of pavement absorb more heat and can be five to eight degrees hotter than surrounding areas. These areas also stay hotter later into the night, which is detrimental to our health.

Enter our branchy, leafy neighbors. A tree’s shade acts like a natural air conditioning and can even keep down the energy costs of our actual air conditioning systems, which are increasingly working overtime.

The rushing water of Elder Creek, with moss covered banks, as it flows into South Fork of Eel River in Angelo Reserve.

#6: Trees filter your water, making your drinking supply cleaner and more reliable.

Raise a glass to a tree near you! Actually, raise your glass to trees far from you, as your water has traveled on a long journey to your faucet. Trees store and filter more than half of the water supply in the United States.

Forests do this by removing pollutants and sediments from rainfall and then slowly releasing the water back into waterways and underground aquifers. Thanks to trees, this naturally cleaner water is easier and cheaper to treat before it ends up in your tap . The water supply is also steadier because all of the rainwater didn’t end up in a river right away; it seeped through these natural filters over time.

To fully use their powers, trees need our help.

While trees are resilient, they are not invincible—and they need our help. When you support The Nature Conservancy, you’re helping to plant more trees, protect old forests and restore forests that have been partially developed. So, together, we’re helping our planet and giving an important gift to our children and their children.

Essay on Save the Wildlife (1410 Words)

February 20, 2018 by Study Mentor Leave a Comment

God has created a beautiful earth for us. He has also given us a beautiful life so that we can spend this life by staying happy and do good work.

Every creature present on this earth has been given a life. This does not mean only the life of a human being matters. There is nothing as such.

The life of all the animals, birds, insects, microorganisms, plants and trees equally matter on this earth to the life of a human being. We should try to understand that life of all creatures is important.

This is because only if we know about it the relationship among all the creatures living on this earth is proper and balanced, only then the environment will be safe and stable for us.

Otherwise if there is no proper relationship among all the creatures the environment will not be stable. Moreover one’s life is connected to another.

If one’s life is getting hampered or disturbed, it will directly affect the other creature’s life. The life of all the creatures is a cycle because they are interconnected.

The birth, survival and death of even one type of creature will seriously affect the cycle of the environment.

All the creatures have their own life. We do not have the right to cut short their life or disturb their life.

They will survive as long as it is possible according to what God has planned for the nature. For example, different animals, birds and insects survive only for a specific amount of time.

After that they die. We cannot stop them from dying because ultimately everyone has to die one day. But we are no one to destroy their life.

Human beings specially need to understand that the animals, birds and insects are needed to maintain a stable environment.

Yes, they are helpful for us to survive but then even their life is also important just like ours. So, we cannot take away their life just like that.

Taking away their life is not so important compared to our jobs, family and other aspects of our life. If we do not consume them, we will not die. We will still manage to survive.   

The animals and bird are useful for human beings in various ways. They give us milk, eggs, fur and leather for clothes and boots.

They are also used for transportation purposes. In many places they are also used for recreational places. But is it necessary that we have to take away their life.

Even if we do not kill them, we will still survive. Even if they give us many benefits, we should do everything in limit. If we are taking away their life, it is our duty to do something for the betterment of their life.

Not only animals are important, but also birds, insects and the microorganisms are important as well.

All of them together constitute the wildlife. So, it is important to take care of every creature. Otherwise it will affect the constitution of both wildlife and environment.   

At the present day there are many national parks and wildlife sanctuaries all over the world. But if we notice properly the number of creatures has reduced a lot.

Nowadays we can see very less number of animals, bird and creatures in these parks and sanctuaries. Earlier the number was large and the earth’s environment was balanced. Even today it is balanced but not like before.

Sometimes it weighs more on one of the side. Earth will not remain as earth if there is no existence of wildlife. Human beings will have to suffer a lot if the wildlife does not exist.

This is because they are entirely dependent on them. Talking about the flora part, that is, the plants and trees, even they are facing problems like the living creatures. There are very less plants and trees at the present day.

They have faced a lot of destruction. This destruction has occurred because of the wants of human beings.

In order to fulfill their demands and wants, human beings have destroyed the flora of this earth. We can see deforestation in most of the places all over the world.

The count of the flora has gone down compared to before. More than the plants, trees and greenery, we see the modernized world. Humans have cut down the trees for their own living and shelter.

Instead of seeing the greenery or the plants and trees we can see more buildings, industries and human settlement all over the world. The human settlement has replaced the flora and fauna everywhere.

The wildlife has reduced all over the world. The present generation has seen very less of the wildlife. There are many plants, animals and bird which are not present today.

They existed perhaps when their grandparents or great grandparents or before them too were living on this earth.

Even the parents of today’s generation have seen more of wildlife than their children. There are many animals and birds that have become extinct.

The present generation comes to know about them only when they read about them or see clippings in books, museums etc. Otherwise they would not have known anything about those plants, animals and birds.

They can only see them in books and museums.

They will not be able to see many of them because most of them have become extinct or they are rarely found on this earth. Many of them are on the verge of becoming extinct or are already endangered.

We should save the wildlife from coming to an end, otherwise human beings will face a lot of problems. Their life will be greatly affected without the existence of wildlife.  

But what can we humans do to save the wildlife? We can do a lot of things in order to save the wildlife. It is just that we do not have a clear idea about how to do that.

The Government all over the world has taken various measures to save the wildlife in their own area.

In 1991, an international non-governmental organization was found to preserve the wildlife and reduce the impact of human on the environment.

This organization is known as World Wild Fund (WWF). The headquarters of this organization is situated at Gland in Switzerland.

The organization makes sure that the wildlife, that is, the flora and fauna is safe and the entire environment is healthy to preserve for the future generations as well.

This is important because if this is not controlled the future generation will not be able to know about the wildlife that are present today. They also focus on the negative activities of the human which affect the environment.

They try their level best to reduce the impact these negative activities cause to the environment and there is optimum use of the resources that are available on the earth.  

It is not only the responsibility of the Government to take the initiative of saving the wildlife. Even we can do that. We can reduce deforestation.

Instead take the responsibility of increasing afforestation.  We can help the government in giving information about the number and growth of wildlife.

There should be rules and regulations on hunting the animals and birds. We should not destroy the natural habitat of the wildlife. There are many species which are very rarely found and their number is limited.

Special care must be taken of these animals. Many people are involved in exporting and importing the products from wildlife.

Such people should be punished so that they do not harm the wildlife and also so that they learn a lesson for getting themselves involved in such activity.

All the people must be made aware about not destroying the wildlife and instead protect the wildlife.

There should be control management to take care of the wildlife. The people who are given the responsibility of this management must be properly trained.

There must be a few senior officials to keep a check on them as well so that they do not do any illegal activities.   

Thus, it is everyone’s responsibility to save the wildlife. Only one person alone cannot save the wildlife. We all need to come together and save the wildlife. If we do this it will help in the betterment of everyone present on the earth.

Essay on Save Animals 

Wildlife is a precious gift from God for this planet. The term "fauna" is not only for wild animals but also for all non-domesticated life forms including birds, insects, plants, fungi and even microscopic organisms. To maintain a healthy ecological balance on this land, animals, plants and marine species are as important as humans. Every organism on this earth has a unique place in the food chain that contributes to the ecosystem in its own way. But, unfortunately today, many animals and birds are endangered. 

Natural habitats of animals and plants are destroyed for land development and agriculture by humans. Poaching and hunting of animals for fur, jewellery, meat and leather are other important factors contributing to the extinction of wildlife. If soon, no rigorous measures are taken to save the fauna, it would not be long when they find a place on the list of extinct species. And that would not be all! The extinction of wild species will certainly have a fatal impact on the human race. So, for us as human beings, it becomes a great responsibility to save the wildlife, our planet and, most importantly, ourselves. Here are some other reasons for deep understanding why wildlife plays such an important role in maintaining an ecological balance on Earth.

The ecosystem is entirely based on the relationships between different organisms linked by food webs and food chains. Even if a single wild species dies out of the ecosystem, it can disrupt the entire food chain and lead to disastrous results. Consider a simple example of a bee that is vital for the growth of some crops because of their pollen transport roles. If bees are reduced in number, the growth of food crops would decrease significantly due to lack of pollination.

Similarly, if a species becomes larger, it may again have a negative effect on the ecological balance. Consider another simple case of carnivores that is shrinking every day because of human poaching and hunting. The reduction of these carnivores leads to an increase in the number of herbivores that depend on forest vegetation for their survival. It would not be long, when the number of herbivores in the forests would rise to such an extent that they would move to farmland and villages for their food needs. Thus, saving wildlife plays a big role in controlling the ecological balance, maintaining a healthy ecosystem.   

The human population depends largely on agricultural crops and plants for their food needs. Do you know that wildlife plays an important role in the growth of these crops? If not, we will understand the concept. The fruits and vegetables that we get from plants are the result of a process called pollination, a reproductive system in plants where the pollen grains of the male flower are transferred to the female flower, resulting in the production of seeds. Now, for pollination to occur, birds, bees and insects, some of the smallest species on this planet, play an important role. It is through these insects and birds that pollens are transferred between the flowers as they pass from one flower to another. Crop growth can be significantly affected if the number of birds and insects carried by the pollen decreases in number for any reason. You would be surprised to know that 90% of the world's apple production depends on the pollination of bees.

In addition to pollination, many birds also play an important role in pest control by feeding on them.

Save Tiger Essay for Students and Children

500+ words essay on save tiger.

Tigers have become a very important topic of interest and issue all over the world presently. India is the home of major wild tigers about 2/3 of the world population . Their reducing number has triggered the government authorities to awaken and take observe. While the government is already taking projects to preserve the tiger, there is something that we as the typical public to have to do. Apart from India tigers are found in other countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Malaysia, Russia-Vietnam, Bhutan, etc. Below are some tips that might help us make a little to make a way to save tigers.

Save Tiger Essay

How Can We Save Tiger?

The first thing what we can do is create awareness among people. And, this program is even more essential when the focus is to preserve the tigers. We can increase the attention to “Save Tigers” by creating leaflets, ads, advertising the cause on internet websites and the like.  The more you propagate the idea about saving tigers, the more persons you will adhere to the cause. Developing attention is incredibly important for all public causes.

Secondly, to preserve the tigers we must stop the poaching. Even when the government has banned the selling of tiger’s skin and bodies, poaching, however, is still prevalent. It’s very important to stop this unlawful act. While you quit poaching, make sure that you do not motivate poachers by purchasing competition skinned baggage, footwear and like products.

Thirdly, It’s been found that our jungles are getting destroyed and that could be a significant cause why creatures like tigers are disappearing. Today, tigers don’t have a proper ecosystem to develop and generate. So, protecting jungles is the next important phase. It is not possible to plant a forest but yes you can plant many trees.

Fourthly, a recent WWF study tells that without mitigation efforts, projected sea-level will rise about a foot by 2070 which can destroy nearly the entire Sundarbans tiger habitat. Sundarbans is a large mangrove forest area and is also the only coastal mangrove tiger habitat in the world. Concerned rising sea levels due to climate change threaten to wipe out these forests and the last remaining habitat of this tiger population.

Lastly, Eco journey is another phase towards your effort to preserve tigers. By traveling on one such journey, you will be able to inform people about the particular situation of tigers and jungles. This will make them feel near to the cause and a positive change could cause them to take effective actions.

Statistics and project

A recent study shows that the tiger population has gone down by 97 percent. In 1900, more than 100,000 tigers were estimated to roam the planet, but that fell to a record low of 3,200 globally in 2010. Project save tiger was an effort to restore the safe environments of tigers which are numbered at around 3000 currently.

The Jim Corbett National park where this project was introduced is the most significant tiger reserve in India focused on preserving the tiger. The objective of that project was to increase the number of tigers that presently exist. Due to this project, the numbers have increased from 2226 in 2014 to 2967 by 2019.

Saving  Tiger is not only our duty but also our responsibility. We have to support the government in its projects for the protection of the tigers so that a healthy population of the tigers exists. We should know that when we ask something from nature, we must be ready to give something back. If nature is responsible for our existence, we must take responsibility for its existence.

Speech on Save Animals

Animals are vital for our planet’s health and balance. They bring joy, assist in ecosystems functioning, and contribute to life’s diversity. But sadly, many species are nearing extinction.

You hold the power to make a difference. Your actions can help save animals and protect these precious life forms. Let’s explore how.

1-minute Speech on Save Animals

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,

Let’s talk about animals today. You know, the ones with fur, feathers, or scales. Some are big, some are small, but all of them are important. We share our world with them, right? But, they need our help now. Their homes are being destroyed and many are getting hurt or lost. They need us to care.

Firstly, animals are our friends. They give us joy, comfort, and sometimes even help us work. Dogs guard our homes, cats keep away pests, and horses were our first cars. But, more than that, they make us happy. When you see a puppy or a kitten, don’t you smile? Don’t you feel happy when you see a bird flying high? They are a part of our world, our lives. We need to protect them because they make life better.

Secondly, animals help keep our world alive. Did you know that bees, those little buzzing insects, help plants grow? They carry pollen from one flower to another. Without them, we won’t have fruits or veggies. Birds, bats, and bugs, they all do the same. They help nature do its job. If they are gone, our world will suffer.

Lastly, remember, saving animals means saving ourselves. If animals are safe, our world is safe. If they are in danger, so are we. We breathe the same air, drink the same water. If we let harm come to them, we let harm come to us.

So, do your bit. Help save animals. Don’t hurt them, don’t destroy their homes. Be kind, caring, and considerate. Our world is their world too. Let’s make it a safe place together. Thank you.

2-minute Speech on Save Animals

Friends, I stand before you today to speak on a very important issue – ‘Save Animals’. The animals that share this earth with us are precious, and every one of them plays a vital role in the balance of nature.

In our first point, let’s talk about the beauty and diversity animals bring to our world. Look around you. We see birds soaring in the sky, fish swimming in the rivers, and animals like lions and elephants roaming in the wilderness. Each animal, big or small, adds color and life to our world. They make our planet a lively, vibrant place.

Next, let’s think about how animals help us. Animals are more than just our companions or food sources. They help us in many ways we may not even realize. Bees, for example, help to pollinate plants. This helps fruits, vegetables, and crops grow. Without them, we wouldn’t have much of the food we eat daily. And think about the horses, dogs, and elephants that work with us in various jobs. They’ve been our friends and helpers for centuries.

Now, let’s focus on the sad part. Many animal species are in danger. They are losing their homes because of things we humans do. We cut down forests to build houses and roads. We hunt animals for fun or sell them for money. Some animals are even disappearing from the earth forever. This is called extinction. We’ve all heard of the dodo bird, haven’t we? It used to live on our planet, but now it’s gone forever because of us.

But friends, it’s not too late to make things right. We can save animals, and we can start today. We can stop hunting animals for fun. We can stop buying things made from animal parts. We can plant more trees to give them homes. We can even start by taking care of the animals around us. Do you remember the last time you saw a stray dog? Did you help it or ignore it?

In conclusion, animals are a vital part of our world. They make our planet beautiful, they help us in many ways, and they deserve our love and respect. If we don’t protect them, we could lose them forever. And a world without animals would be a very sad place indeed.

Every life matters, and every action counts. So let’s take action. Let’s love and respect our animal friends. Let’s do our part to save animals. Because in saving them, we are also saving ourselves and our beautiful planet. Thank you.

Let’s save the animals.

Many species of animals live on the planet we live in, for example mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, insects and amphibians. All the proteins, vitamins and minerals we need in our diet come from animal foods such as meat, fish, dried eggs, as well as animals used for farming, carting, pulling carts, etc. In the past, elephants were used to lift logs.

In light of the above, we need animals. We need to build elephant orphanages, zoos, bird sanctuaries, avoid killing animals for fun, minimize deforestation and prevent water pollution, which are of great benefit to us. It is the duty of each and every one of us to protect and care for the animals that are of great benefit to our lives.
