Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal species and their habitat. The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and also to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness for humans and other species alike.
Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species, but has come to include all plants, fungi, and other organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans.
The term Biodiversity is also referred to as the Biological diversity which mainly denotes to the total number of different living species, living within a particular region including the microbes, plants, animals, and ecosystems such as coral reefs, forests, rainforests, deserts etc.
