WILDLIFE – You will probably picture animals and plants, whenever you hear that term. Wildlife species inhabit distinct ecosystems from one another – such as the forests, deserts, oceans, lakes, grasslands, and any other areas. They are also referred to as undomesticated living organisms that can only be found in the wild. However, with human interference of their habitat and through the ages of evolution some adapt themselves to reside urban environments.

From all sides, wildlife nowadays are currently under siege – getting endangered and suffering from the onslaught of deforestation. Human activity like illegal exploitations of their habitat for logging is affecting them. Worse, with the rapid increase in our populations over the past 200 years, the degradation of wildlife natural habitats has been uncontrollable.
