The protection of wildlife is a topic of growing interest and importance in terms of environmental needs. As responsible citizens, it becomes paramount for us to understand the necessity of protecting our environment, which plays an undeniably crucial role in ensuring we live a good life on planet earth.

With each passing day, the protection of wildlife and an honourable intention to save endangered animals are becoming scarce because we are not paying enough attention to the needful that is required to be fulfilled to safeguard our environment from further ruin. Between 1970 and 2018, the wildlife population on earth dropped by almost 68%. We need to take immediate action to prevent any further extinction of the animal kingdom.

2. Dump your waste responsibly

A lot of you might be segregating your waste into dry and wet. But you should also ensure that you seal your waste properly before trashing them. Recycling plastics, cans, and even glasses is a vital step that needs to be taken for the protection of wildlife.

3. A healthy backyard or front yard

For all those who love maintaining a garden filled with lush greenery - go for native plants. Ensure to always keep an eye out for intrusive plants that might cause harm to all the greenery around. Even the herbicides or pesticides used should be switched with safer options just for the sole intention of being responsible for the environment.

Therefore, led by example, share your experiences, and let people get inspired by your good work. It is the only way to make them do their bit too.

6. Eradicate the use of toxic chemicals

7. Support organisations that popularise wildlife protection

Lately, there have been a lot of organisations solely developed to popularise the importance of wildlife protection. They do their bit by building a more wholesome ecosystem and encouraging people to do their bit too.
