Wildlife Safety In The Face of Adverse Climate Change

Wildlife in Australia is one of our biggest assets. Its contribution to biodiversity has been huge in the past centuries. It is no doubt that Australia is one of the most important counties in the world when it involves wildlife biodiversity. The country houses more animal and plant species than any other country, and it is one of the seventeen megadiverse countries on earth.

Only in Australia

What makes Australia’s wildlife important is that most of its wildlife does not exist anywhere else in the world. For the records, forty-five per cent of Australia’s bird species, eighty-seven per cent mammal, and ninety-four per cent of frog species are only in Australia.

All these contribute to why Australia’s wildlife should be of paramount importance.

Bushfire Responses

In recent times, there have been bushfires that threaten the existence of Australia’s wildlife. In response to this, there is now in place bushfire responses. This is to help contain and manage the spread of bushfire if it breaks out.

Wildlife Carers and Shelters

There are now wildlife carers who are in charge of managing Australia’s wildlife and shelter. This is an action plan that is necessary to save and monitor these wildlife plants’ and animals’ existence.

The wildlife carers and shelters are experts in wildlife management and control.

Community Information on Wildlife

There is a need to embark on radical community information on wildlife. This is important to help sensitize the public on the importance of preserving wildlife, animals, and plants.

Wildlife Emergencies

In many circumstances, wildlife species, especially animals, get trapped and endangered. If there are no urgent responses, the condition may worsen and may lead to death. In avoiding this, wildlife emergencies came into existence.

The Wildlife Emergencies Program would be in charge of responding to wildlife emergencies in Australia.

Wildlife and Environmental Crime

With the rise in wildlife species’ sudden disappearance or death, there is a need to criminalize some acts. As such, the wildlife and environment crimes seek to outlaw all activities that endanger the existence of wild animals and plants in Australia. This has already begun throughout Australia.

Wildlife Management and Control

In preserving biodiversity, there is a need to attend to the management and control of wildlife around Australia. This need has given rise to the strategic plan and framework put in place to ensure prudent management and control of wildlife species.

Protecting Wildlife

Protecting wildlife species seem to be an extension of the management and control of wildlife. Nonetheless, protecting wildlife would entail a deliberate action towards shielding wildlife from invasive plants and animals. This is important because of the ability of the invasive species to destroy wildlife environment and habitat.

Keeping and Trading Wildlife

There are also plans for the safekeeping of wildlife. And in certain circumstances, the trading of some of them. This specific action is important to control how wildlife will be kept and traded in Australia.

Wildlife Research and Tourism

Australia’s deliberate investment in wildlife research drives new discoveries about native species’ health, behaviour, and conservation needs. Meanwhile, wildlife tourism generates vital revenue that funds ongoing habitat protection and community-based conservation initiatives.
