Hi Kids,

Welcome to my page. DF WildKids is happy that you are paying visit to my pages every month. This month too, sharing some thoughts with you. Last week, I conducted an awareness program on wildlife and glad to see so many children attending the program with their parents. One interesting thing I happened to see was, one little kid was asking a question to his father – ‘Dad! Why should we care about wildlife since we live in this city?’ mm.. A common question from people who does not know the contribution of wildlife in the survival of human beings.

I was closely watching the kid’s father to know how he convinces his kid.

Those who have the same question in their mind, please read further to know the answers.

The father of that kid started to explain patiently. He told the following to his boy. Do you want to know?

Wildlife is the main factor for the ecological balance of our planet. Do you know what are the basic elements of wildlife? Forests, animals, birds, different land forms, trees and plants are the main elements of wildlife. As human beings, we could not live without the contribution of nature. We need forests to get better water source which is the very basic need of human beings. As you may know forests are the main source of water and they are the creators of water sources such as rivers, lakes and streams. Forests attract rain and they are the main source of water for the entire world. Forest help to reduce the amount of carbon-Di-oxide in the air and help our planet to survive the global warming. Forests are the oxygen factories and they produce the maximum amount of oxygen than other sources.  Now, could you think a planet without forests?

The animals in the forests help to maintain the ecology of their environment.

Forests provide their products like timber, food products from plants and trees, water and so on. The food cycle will happen only if all the ecological elements are present in a a particular environment.

Herbivores balance the abnormal growth rate of plant life by feeding on the. At the same time, they help new plants and trees to grow by spreading out their seeds all over the forest. Carnivores feed on other animals and maintain the population of herbivores. Carnivores also serve as a security for forests  from the illegal human activities against the wildlife. Thus, wildlife helps the humans to survive in this world directly and indirectly.

Above all, our ancestors lived a life in which every activity of their life was related to nature or wildlife. Today also, there are people whose life are closed related to forest. This is a proof that nature is a part of our life, but now, most the people have no consciousness about it.

Thus the father explained how important the wildlife is for the humans to live peacefully in our planet. I think, the kid would have got the right explanation. What about you?
