Conservation of wildlife

Write a speech on the measures that should be taken to preserve wildlife

Good morning, teachers and friends. Never has a wildlife faced such great threat
s of extinction as in the last few decades. We bulldoze forests to make way for
concrete jungles, depriving many species of the flora and fauna native to their
habitats. We dump all types of waste into our rivers and seas, doing irreparable
damage to freshwater and marine species. We hunt for sport and use animal parts
to cater to our exotic tastes. All our actions are resulting in the dwindling o
f wildlife. We are losing plant and animal species at an accelerated rate.
Ladies and gentlemen, what can we do to stop this massacre Firstly, wildlife tr
ade should be banned. The authorities should strictly prohibit the sale of anima
ls and animal parts whether it is for medicinal or for other purposes. Forests a
re habitats for numerous species of flora and fauna. Dwindling forests means dwi
ndling wildlife. Therefore, forests should be preserved. Promulgating laws alone
will not be an effective deterrent. Offenders should be punished. The authoriti
es should invoke the full weight of the law to make offenders cease their illega
l trade.
For wild life species that face the threat of extinction, the authorities should
make a concerted effort to conserve them. The creation of forest reserves and a
nimal sanctuaries will prevent animal and plant species from being wiped out. Th
e success of the Sepilok Orangutan rehabilitation Center is Sabah is a clear exa
mple of how effective such conservation programs are. Similarly, the establishme
nt of marine parks can protect both marine life and their habitats from being de
stroyed.
Scientific research can single out threats to flora and fauna species and also d
iscover ways of tackling these threats effectively. Monetary incentives such as
grants from the government will encourage scientific research. the mass media an
d television programs like National Geographic can instil awareness in the publi
c on the need to preserve biodiversity. Coverage of wildlife issues should be in
creased.
The public, too, should play its part. As green consumers, we can refuse to buy
products that make sue of animal parts.
If the authorities, the private sector and the public play their part, we can pu
t a stop to practices that endanger wildlife.
