Ecosystem and the beauty of wildlife.

You might be wondering why do we have to put in so much effort to save the animals? They live their own lives and we live ours. But on the other hand, what about the food chain, the ecosystem?

The Wildlife animals play a HUGE role in maintaining the food chain, to supply the food and nutrients we need in our everyday life.

For instance, like the picture above, every animals are interconnected among each other. If for an example, the Owl is extinct, the population of the animals that is relying on Owls for survival will slowly decrease and it will therefore leads to extinction too. And this cycle continues and it will wipe out the whole ecosystem eventually.
And this WILL definitely affects us as well too because we're part of the big ecosystem!


All around the Earth, populations of most species of frogs and toads are declining. Not only are the adult frogs are dying, but a majority of their eggs are not hatching and most of the few hatched tadpoles are dying as well. A number of species of frogs and toads have already become extinct; more than would be expected at previous rates of species loss over the past few centuries. Meanwhile, a very few species of frogs and toads are thriving. Scientists are scrambling to find the reasons why.
WHO CARES!!, you might say. But the thing is We all should! The frog is the "miner's canary" for our environment. Frogs and toads have passed through numerous mass extinctions for nearly 300 million years. What has made them such robust survivors is their remarkable skin. It is permeable to water and air borne substances such as oxygen. Frog skin is a complex chemical factory as well. It produces a protective coating to prevent desiccation. The skin of several species of frogs and toads produces potent antibiotics and predator repelling toxins.
Frog skin is vulnerable to ultraviolet light. Frogs may, therefore, be the first casualty of ozone-layer depletion. Because its skin is so permeable, the frog is also sensitive to air, water, and soil pollutants. Dying frogs may indicate that the worldwide concentration of pollutants has reached a lethal level for them. If frogs go, can we be far behind?

 Animals play a part in the ecosystem, and they also bring beauty to the Earth as well. Animals are and SHOULD be conserved due to their beauty they brought to Earth. Thus, animals are protected because people are interested in them and would like to see these animals still running in the wild. It tempts adventurers and travelers to explore the beauty of the wildlife sanctuaries and parks.

The following pictures are some captivating pictures of the wildlife animals :)

ARE YOU HAVING A SECOND THOUGHT NOW? :)

Animal Hunting for Their Skin

STOP BUYING CLOTHES MADE OUT OF ANIMAL'S SKIN!

People tend to get the idea that when one says stop buying clothes made that means that they only have to do that. People have to understand that buying the tusks also includes into the whole idea of buying things made out of animal's body parts.Would you like it if someone made a coat or a rag out of your skin?Hoe would you feel if someone skinned you while you are widely awake(conscious)? Seriously that would feel terrible! People call that sadistic..how is doing the same thing to animals any different?
Look at this animals above don't you people feel sorry for this poor living thing! Do you know that hunters usually go for the Male head of the family to get the tusks because the male head of the troop always has the biggest tusks.But they don't understand that when the head of the troop is gone the other members would be lost and without a leader.So not only are you destroying one soul you are destroying the entire family! If this were to continue I'm very sure there would be a day when you can't show your child or grandchild what an elephant looks like or a white tiger looks like. You would have to show your child or grandchildren a picture of how did a elephant look like....Just like how we do it when it comes to the dodo bird or even the dinosaurs!

Conserve Habitats

• One of the most important ways to help threatened plants and animals survive is to protect their habitats permanently in national parks, nature reserves or wilderness areas. There they can live without too much interference from humans. It is also important to protect habitats outside reserves such as on farms and along roadsides.
• You can visit a nearby national park or nature reserve. Some national parks have special guided tours and walks for kids. Talk to the rangers to find out whether there are any threatened species and how they are being protected. You and your friends might be able to help the rangers in their conservation work.
• When you visit a national park, make sure you obey the wildlife code: follow fire regulations; leave your pets at home; leave flowers, birds’ eggs, logs and bush rocks where you find them; put your rubbish in a bin or, better still, take it home.
• If you have friends who live on farms, encourage them to keep patches of bush as wildlife habitats and to leave old trees standing, especially those with hollows suitable for nesting animals.
• Some areas have groups which look after local lands and nature reserves. They do this by removing weeds and planting local native species in their place. You could join one of these groups, or even start a new one with your parents and friends. Ask your local parks authority or council for information.
• By removing rubbish and weeds and replanting with natives you will allow the native bush to gradually regenerate. This will also encourage native animals to return. 

 

 Protect Wildlife Habitat

Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Deforestation, farming, over-grazing and development all result in irreversible changes—soil compaction, erosion, desertification, and alteration of local climatic conditions. Such land use practices vastly alter or even eliminate wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species are present, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together and when communities are kept intact, less conservation intervention is required to ensure species survival. Parks, reserves, and other protected lands are too often the only habitats left untouched by habitat destruction.

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Every thing you do counts! Like Mahatma said even one person can make a difference. Stop abusing the animals. Help make it known to people that they should get involved.

By letting local and national governments know that you're concerned about endangered species, you're increasing the likelihood that someone will do something about it.

 

JOIN A CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION

There is a wide range of conservation organizations working to protect endangered animals and habitats. Different organizations have different objectives—some work to protect a small plot of land or to protect whales, others focus on establishing good environmental policies in local government. If you have a specific area of interest, you can often find an organization that is working to protect the species or habitats you're most concerned about. By joining in, you can support well-organized, ongoing efforts to protect species and habitats. And if you want to participate in conservation field work, you can often get involved in specific programs within many conservation organizations that rely to a great extent on help from volunteers.

 

Thank You. :))

Hi!

In this post, I'm gonna post up pictures from our zoo trip. Sadly, two of our members can't make it, so the trip went on with three members.

We went over to Singapore Zoological Garden to find out more about the animals that are endangered.

As you can see, we met polar bear, white tiger, rhinoceros, a few others. These animals are currently under the endangered list, and helping them to preserve their habitat would be a great help for their family back home.

You guys can come over to the zoo and see for yourself the animals. It would be a great outing for you and your family, for you to learn everything about animals and their wonder.

till my next post, readers! (:
