Wildlife

Wildlife refers to all living organisms that are not domesticated, including animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms, that exist in their natural habitats. This term typically emphasizes the diverse range of species, particularly vertebrates such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, as well as invertebrates like insects, crustaceans, and mollusks. Wildlife encompasses both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, highlighting the interactions and interdependence of organisms within these environments. The concept often evokes considerations of conservation and biodiversity, as many wildlife species face threats from human activities, habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Efforts to protect wildlife involve conservation strategies, habitat preservation, and legal protections to ensure the survival of various species and the ecosystems they inhabit.
