Wildlife Preservation

Wildlife Preservation Feature Writer: Dawn M. Smith

In 2006, the number of endangered species rose to more than 16,000 worldwide. Habitat loss, pollution and human-animal conflict all play a part when species are threatened with extinction. Introductions of non-native species devastate local native populations and alter ecosystems.

From elephants, leopards and bears to monk seals, sea turtles, manatees and whales we'll explore wildlife conservation issues and find some reasons to be encouraged. With new species being discovered every day, interest in protecting some of the world's unique habitats is growing.

Wildlife conservation issues cross international borders. Working cooperatively across cultures and ideologies, people are making a difference to many species, including our own.
