Current Threats to Wildlife
Habitat Loss
Rapid human population growth and agricultural expansion have resulted in the destruction of critical wildlife habitats. Forests are cleared, wetlands drained, and grasslands converted to farmland.
Poaching & Illegal Trade
Elephants are killed for ivory, rhinos for their horns, and pangolins for their scales. The illegal wildlife trade is worth billions of dollars annually.
Climate Change
Changing weather patterns, droughts, and extreme temperatures are altering ecosystems and forcing animals to migrate or adapt to new conditions.
Conservation Success Stories
🦏 Rhino Recovery
The Southern White Rhino population has increased from just 50 individuals in 1900 to over 18,000 today through dedicated conservation efforts.
🐅 Big Cat Protection
Community-based conservation programs have helped stabilize lion populations in key areas, reducing human-wildlife conflict.
🐘 Elephant Corridors
Wildlife corridors connecting fragmented habitats have allowed elephant herds to migrate safely between protected areas.
