Wildlife

Human activity determines if our interactions with wildlife are beneficial or deadly - for both them and us.

Wild animals fill humans with a sense of awe and wonder at the complexity and beauty of our planet. Wildlife also provides humans with ecosystem balance, food, fibers, building materials, medicines, transport, and recreation. But species biodiversity is declining at unprecedented rates around the world, and extinction rates are accelerating, with grave impacts on both native ecosystems and humans. These declines have one common factor -- human activity.
