Wildlife conservation is essential to maintain biodiversity, which ensures healthy ecosystems that provide vital services like clean air, water, and pollination. Protecting wildlife also helps preserve the planet's natural beauty and balance, which benefits both humans and animals.

Animals adapt through physical, behavioral, and physiological changes. For example, Arctic foxes grow thick fur to survive cold winters, while desert camels store fat in their humps for energy and water conservation. These adaptations help them thrive in challenging conditions.

The primary threats include habitat destruction, climate change, poaching, pollution, and overfishing. Human activities such as deforestation and urbanization are major causes of habitat loss, while global warming disrupts ecosystems and forces animals to migrate or face extinction.

The most endangered animals include the vaquita (a small porpoise), the Javan rhino, and the Amur leopard. These species are critically endangered due to habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to save them from extinction.

People can protect wildlife by supporting conservation organizations, reducing waste, recycling, planting native trees, and avoiding products made from endangered species. Spreading awareness about environmental issues and sustainable living also makes a significant difference.

Zoos and wildlife reserves provide safe habitats for endangered animals, contribute to breeding programs, and educate the public about conservation. They also conduct research to better understand animal behavior and develop strategies to protect species in the wild.
