wildlife conservation (sh)




Regulation of wild animals and plants in such a way as to provide for their continuance.

Efforts are aimed at preventing the depletion of present populations and ensuring the continued existence of the habitats targeted species need to survive. Techniques involve establishment of sanctuaries and controls on hunting, use of land, importation of exotic species, pollution, and use of pesticides.
