Ethics In Wildlife Conservation

Ethics in Wildlife Preservation

Earth’s population cannot be expected to remain constant. It is as unreal as the sun setting in the east. But, in the recent few decades, the growth in population has been exponential. At present there are near about 8.74 million (Eukaryotes- an organism whose nucleus and other organelles enclosed with membranes) of species present on this earth and among them there is one species which is by far have destructed most of the other species and yes that crown goes to “Human beings”.

But this is also a reality that only human beings can help other species to sustain their life and live in this wonderful world.

So many are being hunted just for

Both anthropocentric and bio centric approaches to environmental ethics create a false partition between humans and nature and are thus not useful as an underpinning for modern wildlife conservation policies, which aim to balance the needs of people with the conservation of nature. Wildlife studies are of increasing importance in recent years as we have recognized the imperatives of species conservation and environmental management. Often these studies occur in the animal’s natural habitat which presents particular challenges to minimize the risk to the animals involved.

Nature and wildlife are also a great philosophical and spiritual resource, serving as inspiration for religious, philosophical, and spiritual thought and experience. This is not only true for the direct experience of wildlife; the mere idea that we share the Earth with blue whales, orang-utans, and cheetahs, for example, can be inspiring. What is valued here is the simple possibility that a species exists and survives, although one might never see it.
