The Merits Of African Wildlife Conservation

By Kenneth Hill


The loss of species and habitats every year has speared the emergence of many conservation movements and organizations in Africa. Habitats are being destructed to pave the way for construction and other development projects. This has led to pollution increase and loss of biodiversity. African Wildlife Conservation has created awareness for sustainable developments. Wild animals, as well as plants protection, have a number of merits as discussed in this article.

Wildlife is one of the critical attraction sites in Africa. Many people travel from places to come and see creatures that are hard to see anywhere else. Unfortunately, poaching and poor resource utilization have led to the extinction of these wonders of the world. Protecting them ensures that tourists will keep coming throughout the year. A significant amount of revenue is collected from tourism and used for other developmental purposes.

Wild plants and animals serve as a mode of recreation. It is fun to carry out activities like controlled hunting, bird watching and even camping in forests and conservation areas. Protecting these areas support these activities and help the generation to come to have some recreation sites. Outdoor activities such as camping help you to relax and to give our family a memorable event.

Another conservation benefit is maintaining the biodiversity. Different species interact through food chains and webs. Extinction of one animal that is seen unimportant either culturally or economically may affect others down the line negatively. These can lead to loss of others that were relying on that species for food or habitat. Incorporating better methods of resources exploitation enables a variety of species to survive and new ones to emerge.

Wildlife serves as a source of food for almost all of us. They are also a source of medicines, both herbal and clinical medicine. Conserving them helps in the discovery of other alternative sources that can help in creating food security. Keeping many species in one area creates a healthy interaction while protecting one species from extinction in case of emergence of disease.

Conservation acts as a mode of research and education. Many students go to protected areas to learn about ecology. Researches are also working hard to discover some of the species that have not been discovered, to find more wildlife interaction and their characteristics. Preserving the biodiversity gives a chance to future scientists to proceed with research.

Wildlife conservation creates aesthetic value while offering the psychological merits. Various outdoor activities such as nature walk and hiking on weekends or holidays can help you to relax and reduce the everyday work stress. This improves your moods and confidence as you interact with the preserved fauna and flora. Having these outdoor activities can impact positively on your know knowledge as you will be learning new things every time.

Wild plants and animals are environmental indicators. Indigenous plants shed leaves to indicate the likelihood of drought and various animals migrate from one location to another indicating the same thing. Plants also play a significant role in improving the environment by reducing erosion, absorbing carbon and increasing urban green space.
