Some decades before the 1970s was the time when our planet possessed the most vibrant series of natural ecosystems, wild expanses of lush greenery, and all kinds of creatures big and small. Within just 50 years after those green decades, we lost about 68% of our wildlife populations by 2016 and irreparably damaged our natural world.
As we are navigating the complexities of the modern world, we are taking more and more from nature about space and resources. We are cutting down forests for agriculture, disturbing the life balance of perfectly harmonious ecosystems to satisfy our material desires, and shattering down sustainable living systems to create more space for urbanization. The realities of our wildlife and the natural world today are not visible to us and as we are too absorbed in the stir of our urban world, we are not able to understand the consequences of our quick actions.
It's no surprise that preserving wildlife and their habitats is an urgent global concern today. The decline of species and ecosystem degradation is deeply troubling, underscoring the need for heightened wildlife conservation efforts. Our world's wild spaces require our attention as we strive to understand the challenges wildlife face and their incredible resilience. We must explore ways to protect and restore the fragile balance of their ecosystems. This guidebook is intended to highlight the crucial significance of restoring Earth's biodiversity, particularly in biodiversity hotspots where your contributions can make a difference on a global scale. It will outline various volunteering opportunities based on your interests and even suggest ways you can start making a positive impact right now, without having to travel anywhere.
Certainly, it's undeniable that wildlife conservation is no longer merely a choice; it should be regarded as our duty. We must wholeheartedly embrace our role as protectors of wildlife to ensure a future where biodiversity flourishes, ecosystems thrive, and we coexist harmoniously with nature. Through united efforts, sustainable methods, and a profound reverence for the natural world, we can protect the incredible marvels of wildlife and guarantee a legacy of resilience and abundance for future generations.
