Humankind was introduced into this world after thousands of cycles of evolution. What is termed as ‘human’ is just a derivation of the word ‘Homo sapiens’, the biological term to refer to the creed of animals who have advanced social and mental skills. Humans, are also animals, evolved to have the liberties like cognitive thinking, verbal feedback, and heightened mental capacity than our evolutionary ancestors.
However, the liberty to voice opinions, pains, and sufferings is not something that other species have. Hence, as the higher evolutionary species, it is our responsibility of all humans to conserve and look after those who cannot on their own. Today, on December 4, 2024, Asia Book of Records would like to wish you all a motivated Wildlife Conservation Day.
Conservation of Endangered Species Around the World
World Governments and the United Nations Development Program are all devoted towards the protection and conservation of endangered species. Restrictive measures are taken by the UNDP to fight against illegal wildlife trade, hunting, and trafficking. Many private organisations like WILDLABS are also actively involved in wildlife conservation, monitoring biodiversity and resolving arising conflicts between man and the wild. Jackson Wild is also a prominent advocate for wildlife conservation, through hosting the World Wildlife Day Showcase.
His initiative inspires Global audiences to take a step towards conservation of wildlife. International Fund for Animal Welfare is another example of initiatives set in place to motivate individuals to promote protective measures for wildlife.
Some Wildlife Conservation Success Stories
Asia Book of Records has some exceptional wildlife conservationists who have showcased their love for wild fauna. Dr. Ramesh Kumar P, an IFS Officer, organised the participation of 8,410 people in a Wildlife Awareness Program. Deepti Madhav Deshmukh has showcased her zeal and affection towards animals by treating and rescuing more than 20,000 injured and stray animals. Vanita Borade is the first female snake rescuer of India has also added her name in the stars for rescuing and releasing more than 51,000 snakes in their natural habitat, preventing them from getting killed.
Prateek Agarwal made an addition to the record books by clicking the maximum number of pictures of the one-horned rhinoceros in their natural habitat. Dr. Sudhir Hasamnis took this even further by posting 2,557 pictures of wild animals and biodiversity on social media for 2,557 consecutive days.
What can be done for a better future for wildlife?
Asia Book of Records has many wildlife conservationists, advocates, wildlife photographers, and animal lovers in our database. It is our pride to have success stories shining on our walls, showing how much these record holders care about conserving the natural world. It is time that one analyses the world around themselves and makes sound decisions for all endangered species.
Many government programs are pivoted towards preservation of wild animals and improving the human-wildlife coexistence, by promoting legal and sustainable wildlife trade and other measures. And so, we, at Asia Book of Records, urge you to be the change and take a step towards environmental conservation.
