wildlife preservation
Saving wild species
Wildlife preservation is the protection of wild animals and their natural habitats from destruction, exploitation, or extinction.
The term emphasizes maintaining ecosystems in their natural state rather than merely managing species for human use: The land was set aside for wildlife preservation.
Preservation efforts often involve establishing protected areas, enforcing hunting regulations, and breeding programs for endangered species.
