INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES
Assalamualaikum, Hi : I am NorFahanis Binti Abdullah from DEC 5B and this blog is done for Digital And Mobile communication subject by my lecturer, Madam Hawinda bt Karmon. Purpose I created this blog to let the others know about the Wildlife Conservation.
The objectives for this blog is to inform people about protecting endangered plant and animal species and their habitat. As we know, people always destroy flora and fauna because they wants to find money and build new infrastructural. These blog also wants to ensure future generations enjoy and recognize the important of wildlife and wilderness land. If they know about wildlife, of course in future, they will take care of it.
I also wants to inform that human activity on wildlife will make several negatives effects toward all creatures not only wildlife, but we as human also receive bad impact.
Lets watch this video together....Enjoys....

EXOTIC ANIMALS
An exotic pet is a rare or unusual animal pet, or an animal kept within human households which
are generally thought of as a wild species not typically kept as a pet. Commonly,
the definition is an evolving one; some rodents, reptiles, and amphibians have become firmly enough established in the world of animal fancy to no longer be considered exotic. Although the
breeding population has been largely isolated from wild populations outside the
US, they still have the potential to transmit zoonotic disease. The Convention on the International Trade
in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna, or CITES, moderates the trade of some exotic pets around
the world, to prevent any threats to their survival and ecological damage.
Certain animals may be strictly regulated or restricted outright due to both
their conservation status, as well as the
possibility of the animal becoming an invasive species.
Example of Exotic animals :
 |
| Fennec Fox( Fennec foxes are commonly trapped for sale to the pet trade and for fur by the human population of Northern Africa |
 |
Sugar Gliders ( Loss of natural habitat in Australia over the last 200 years, it is adaptable and capable of living in small patches of remnant bush, particularly if it does not have to cross large expanses of cleared land to reach them)

ENDANGERED ANIMALS

An endangered species is a species of organisms facing a very high risk of extinction. The phrase is used vaguely in common parlance
for any species fitting this description, but its use by conservation biologists typically refers to those designated Endangered in the IUCN Red List, where it is the second most severe conservation status for wild populations, following Critically Endangered. There are
currently 3079 animals and 2655 plants classified as Endangered worldwide, compared with 1998
levels of 1102 and 1197, respectively. The
amount, population trend, and conservation status of each species can be found
in the list of organisms by population.
Example of Endangered Animals :
 |
| Three 45 day-old Bengal White Tigers cubs are seen at their cage in the Buenos Aires Zoo. |
 |
Many polar bear have been shoot to get their skin

MAJOR THREATS TO WILDLIFE
Habitat Loss
Habitat loss can be
described when an animal loses their home. Every animal in the animal kingdom
has a niche, a role in their animal community, and without their habitat they
no longer have a niche. Habitat loss can be very disruptive to the biosphere. Habitat can also be destroyed indirectly by human activities such as
pollution, fragmentation, climate change and the introduction of invasive
species. Although much habitat destruction can be attributed to human activity,
it is not an exclusively man-mreade phenomenon. Habitat loss also occurs as a
result of natural events such as floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and
climate fluctuations.

Climate
Changes
Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the
statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to
millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the
distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer
extreme weather events).
Pesticides and toxic chemical
Substances meant for preventing, destroying or mitigating any pest. By their very nature, most pesticides pose some risk of harm
to humans, animals or the environment because they are designed
to kill or adversely affect living organisms. Significant fish and bird kills
have resulted from the legal application of pesticides, with millions of fish
and birds estimated to die from pesticide exposure each year (Williams, Ted) (Pimental et al 1992). However, at the same time, pesticides are useful to society because
they are used to control or kill potential disease-causing organisms and
insects, weeds and other pests.

A) $ 14 M for Wildlife Conservation efforts in Indiana
Indianapolis (AP)- Indiana is getting nearly $14 million in federal funds to assists wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation efforts. The state Department of Natural Resources says Indiana's share of the wildlife and sport Fish Restoration fund is $13.9 million. The money can be used by the states for Wildlife management.

B) Indonesia and Malaysia Back Sumatra Rhino Saving Plan
Indonesia and Malaysia have reached an agreement to save the critically endangered Sumatran rhino.Fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos exist today in a last-ditch attempt to save the species from extinction, the two countries are drafting a two-year emergency action plan.The last wild populations live in Sumatra, western Indonesia and Sabah in Malaysia.

| Less than 100 Sumatra Rhino now exist |
At a summit in Singapore convened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC), over 130 experts and government officials met to discuss how to tackle the crisis.
Widodo Ramono, executive director of Yayasan Badak Indonesia, the rhino foundation in Indonesia, said: "Serious steps must be taken to roll back the tide of extinction of the Sumatran rhino.

EFFECTS OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
When their habitat been destroy, they will died because doesn't have food and places to raise their young generation.
Examples of animals that will receive the impact when they loss their habitat :
A)Polar Bears
Polar bears rely heavily on Arctic sea ice, which is rapidly disappearing due to global warming. In Hudson Bay, polar bears are starving during the long summer months as the ice they rely on to hunt for food melts earlier each spring and later in the fall.
B) Pika
The American pika, a small mammal that lives on Western mountaintops, is being forced to move to higher and higher altitudes to find the tolerable alpine temperatures it calls home. As global warming increases average temperatures, the pika may soon run out of places to go.
C) WaterFowl
Ducks, geese and other waterfowl across the country are changing behaviors and migration patterns and suffering the consequences of more extreme weather, including drought and floods. This not only threatens the birds themselves, but has greatly impacted the hunting businesses that depend on ducks showing up for duck season.
