Question

Number of wildlife is continuously decreasing. What is the main reason for this:-
A. Predation
B. Cutting down of forest
C. Destruction of habitat
D. Hunting

Answer 1

Wild life is defined by undomesticated animals which live in the forest area without human introduction for both animal and human safety. The reasons for the reduction in wildlife animals are deforestation, killing, polluting and over exploitation. The most important thing is deforestation and destruction of natural habitat. It will affect the flora and fauna which is called the small species surrounded by the complete area of the surface.

Complete explanation:
Option A: Predation is the process of killing one organism for its own need. Example of predation is carnivorous interaction. Meaning of this interaction is known as one living being depends on other living things. The animals which eat the prey are called the predation species. Carnivory, herbivory, parasitism and mutualism are the types of predation.
Hence Option A is incorrect.
Option B: Deforestation is called the cutting down of forest. It means reducing the tree level or cutting all the trees to make that forest area for human living or other commercial purposes. Lots of deforestation occurs in the tropical rainforest. Climate change, soil erosion and flooding are the result of deforestation. It results in unimagined climate changes.
Hence Option B is incorrect.
Option C: Destruction of habitat is the process of natural habitat that doesn't support their native species. The places previously lived by the animals are dead or displaced so the species living in their place will change their native. It is because of the forest burn, mining and logging. Pollution is also the reason for the destruction of habitat.
Hence Option C is correct.
Option D: Hunting is the process of killing, attacking or capturing wild animals. The main reason for the hunting is to make some animals as prey and make useful things from that animal. Recreation and removing threatened animals is also the purpose of hunting. By hunting the animals which destroyed the crops will be killed.
Hence Option D is incorrect.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Note:
The purpose of conserving wildlife is to save ecosystems. Eco systems provide clean air, clean water, food and shelter. Removing of trees in the ecosystem will result in the change in climatic condition, increased soil erosion and silts up river. If we save wild life and forest then it will provides the ecological stability. Forests are the habitat of wildlife and they are the important food source or food chains for the living beings. If we destroy the forest then it will reduces the rain fall, increased the heat.
