The Earth’s largest living organism — a vast body of salt water that covers more than 70% of the planet’s surface and contains countless plants, animals, and other species. It’s also a critical climate regulator, soaking up and dispersing energy (heat) from and to the rest of the world and recycling nutrients and carbon dioxide […]

The Wildlife Society Enhances the Careers and Professional Development of Wildlife Professionals
Wild animals are any animal that lives naturally in an environment where humans have not altered its natural habitat. The term was originally used to refer to undomesticated animal species, but the definition has broadened over time to include all wildlife that evolves or exists in a natural environment without human intervention. This biodiversity is […]

Climate Change is the shift in average weather conditions over a long period of time. When the climate changes, it affects how and where people live. Climate change is caused by human activities, including burning fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal for energy. Burning these fuels releases carbon dioxide, which traps heat in Earth’s […]

The vast expanse of water that covers more than 70% of the Earth is a place of mystery and wonder. In recent decades, technology has opened up the ocean like never before. Deep-sea submersibles can now take people to the ocean’s cavernous depths; autonomous vehicles are mapping a geology that humans have only dreamed of […]

Wildlife means all wild animals, plants, fungi and even microscopic organisms that live on this planet. They are important for sustaining a healthy ecological balance and hence should be protected by us. However, the world’s wild creatures are in trouble and many of them are facing the danger of extinction. There are several factors that […]

The planet’s climate is changing faster than ever before. This change is affecting everything we depend on, from natural habitats to human communities. It’s fueling environmental degradation, natural disasters and weather extremes, reducing food and water security, driving economic disruption and conflict, and pushing many people into poverty. A warming climate is the result of […]

The vast ocean covers 71 percent of Earth’s surface, supplying half of our planet’s oxygen and regulating rainfall and droughts. It also absorbs CO2, helping keep the carbon cycle in balance. From food to jobs, the ocean is a lifeline for billions of people. In addition, it’s a beautiful natural environment that provides fun and […]
Continue readingMore TagWhat Is Wildlife?
Wildlife is a wide-ranging term that refers to non-domesticated animals, plants, and other organisms living in the wild. Wildlife preservation, or conservation, is the practice of preventing the extinction of these species and safeguarding their habitats and ecosystems. A variety of government and non-government organizations are involved in this work. These include National Geographic Explorers, […]

Climate change refers to a significant increase in Earth’s average temperature over the past few decades. It is the result of human activities, primarily fossil fuel use and land-use changes. Carbon dioxide concentrations are rising mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels. Plants pulled the carbon out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis over millions […]

Ocean is a huge body of salt water covering 71 percent of the Earth’s surface. It produces half the planet’s oxygen and regulates climate, rainfall and droughts. It is home to a vast diversity of fish, mammals and birds. It also sustains a global industry that depends on ocean resources, including shipping and trade, fishing […]
