Conservation of Wildlife
Wildlife Conservation in My Country

In Malaysia, just like elsewhere the modern world, many species of wildlife are disappearing fast, and conservation measures are needed to prevent animals and plants from vanishing for good. Habitat destruction is a main part of the problem but many animals are being killed and taken by hunters and poachers too. Many rare animals are hunted for food and even for sport. Some are caught alive and then sold on to collectors. One of the saddest and sickest reasons that animals are hunted is because of the crazy supernatural belief that parts of their bodies, such as rhino horn, have magic properties. Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, rain forests, plains, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities. Conservation is a planned management of a natural resource or of a particular ecosystem to prevent exploitation, pollution, destruction, or neglect and to ensure the future usability of the resource. Living resources are renewable, minerals and fossil fuels are non-renewable. Wildlife conservation is the preservation, protection, or restoration of wildlife and their environment, especially in relation to endangered and vulnerable species. All living non-domesticated animals, even if bred, hatched or born in captivity, are considered wild animals. Wildlife represents all the non-cultivated and non-domesticated animals living in their natural habitats. Our own country also has many unique and rare animals, birds and reptiles. However the

    A wildlife biologist has an array of duties where it can range from studying and recording data from animals in controlled and natural environments, or reporting scientific findings to scholars, and or the press. However, the main focus is on how each animal interacts with their ecosystems, and fellow animals. A Wildlife Biologist would conduct a series of test and record data such as; height, width, age, sex, physical traits, nutrition levels, diseases, and behavioral patterns. Most wildlife biologist work to find information to share to the general public, while other researcher’s study to conserve and protect endangered and new species. Each specific classification of animal has its own dedicated profession to it, for instance a Marine biologist would study all aquatic based lifeforms.…

    Entering the 20th century, America was evolving into a developed, industrialized nation. With this influx of industrialization, more land was being converted to be used consumptively. The American population was rising which required the conversion of lands for settlement, along with the resources to build settlements. An issue associated with an increasing population is the requirement of additional food sources. In America between 1850 and 1910, 190 million acres of forest land was converted into agriculture (MacCleery 2011). The accumulation of these expansions over time drastically reduced the amount of wilderness in the United States. Without regulations and guidelines to protect the natural resources, the American public and conservationists…

    Charles Dickens once said, “There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human breast.” I agree with this quote. Hunting is very exciting and fun. However, many disagree with me. No one rides the fence though. You either think that hunting is good or that hunting is bad. What do you believe? Do you think hunting is positive or negative? I believe hunting is good because it helps feed those in need, it helps control the population of wild animals, and it helps farmers who may have animals on their land they want to get rid of.…

    Mammals are thought to have evolved from the class Reptilia particularly within the order Therapsida of the subclass Synapsida or “mammal-like reptiles” (Novak 1999). Adelobasileus cromptoni from the late Triassic of Texas about 225 million years old was said to be the earliest known mammal (Lucas and Hunt, 1990). However, with respect to several important characters, Adelobasileus shows an intermediate condition between cynodonts and mammals and its status as mammals has been doubted (Lucas and Luo 1993). The recent discovery of Hydrocodium wui provides evidence for the earliest known mammal in 195 million year old Cretaceous Chinese sediments, suggesting that the mammals evolved 45 million year earlier than previously recognized (Lou et al. 2001). The small body size of Hydracotherium also reveals that there was more evolutionary diversity among early mammals than had been previously known (Lou et al. 2001). It is also speculated that in as early as Jurassic period mammals were occupying all available ecological niches (Wyss 2001). The present day diversity in mammals is undoubtedly the result of its early radiation through adaptation for different niches. The diversification of placental mammal orders is now unambiguously dated before the K/T boundary (Murphy and O’Brien, 2001; Tavare, et al. 2002; Springer et al. 2003). During the K/T boundary there were extremely harsh environmental conditions that probably led to large scale extinctions (Officer et al. 1986). Subsequent to the K/T transition and Gondwana split up there was cosmopolitanization of mammals that resulted in a shared lineage of old world mammals distributed in Madagascar and Penninsular India (Krause, et al. 1999). There is also evidence suggesting that the Asian ancestral mammals gave rise to at least one of the group of mammals that first appeared in North America about 55 million years ago (Beard, 2002). Therefore, the Asian region has played a…

    The largest of all the Asian big cats, tigers rely primarily on sight and sound rather than smell. They typically hunt alone and stalk prey. A tiger can consume up to 88 pounds of meat at one time. On average, tigers give birth to 2-3 cubs every 2-2.5 years. If all the cubs in one litter die, a second litter may be produced within 5 months.…
