development in our society, different human activities like clearing forests for settlement and farming, killing

animals

and birds for trade has become a part of our existence. What we forget in the process is that, due to these activities, many

animals

and birds are becoming extinct. Our environment is undergoing alarming changes and so protecting them is the need of the hour.

Therefore

, in

this

essay, different ways to safeguard the

animals

from extinction will be discussed.

Animals

and birds are a significant representation of the culture of a country.

For example

, the national bird and national

animals

of India are the Peacock and the Tiger, respectively. Both of them depict the vibrant and powerful heritage of the country. Unfortunately, for improvement of lifestyle, large forest

areas

are being cleared to increase the space for cultivation and construction of houses and offices.

As a result

,

animals

lose their home and food, which ultimately leads to disruption of the ecosystem and loss of biodiversity. So, it is of utmost importance, in my opinion, to follow various steps to protect these animal

species

. The

first

step that should be taken is to replace the forest cover. Deforestation should be avoided in certain places. Even if trees are being cut rampantly in one place, more plants should be planted in other places to maintain the balance. The

second

step is to make people aware of the effects of ecosystem disruption and animal extinction. The more people know and care about it, the more healthy our planet will become.

Thirdly

, the government should play a meaningful role to prevent the unnecessary killing of

animals

which leads to the annihilation of the

species

. It should impose fines, strict punishment and rules that will forbid illegal poaching of

animals

. For

animals

that are already on the verge of extinction, like Royal Bengal tigers, Giant pandas, River dolphins, bumblebees and many more, the government should build protected

areas

like national parks, sanctuaries and biosphere reserves. These

areas

will guard these

species

against different kinds of exploitation. Apart from all these, everyone should make a common effort to invest in sustainable development. The focus should be on protecting the natural resources and coming up with alternatives that are healthy for us and eco-friendly. In conclusion, I would like to mention that the government of different countries has set up many protected

areas

like North York Moors National Park, Sundarbans National Park, Ranthambore National Park and similar reserves to look after the

species

that are in danger. Organizations like The World

Wildlife

Fund (WWF), People for the Ethical Treatment of

Animals

(PETA),

Wildlife

Trust of India (WTI) and others support

this

genuine concern and work to mitigate the various dangers to

wildlife

. There are even laws and rules to watch over the

wildlife

. So, it is the duty of society as a whole to take care of our resources and maintain a balance with the elements of nature for the betterment of our future generations.
