Protecting animals

Description

Protecting animals involves implementing and enforcing measures to prevent harm, exploitation, and extinction of animal species. This strategy includes establishing wildlife reserves, regulating hunting and trade, promoting humane treatment, and supporting conservation programs. Practical actions address threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and illegal trafficking, aiming to ensure animal welfare and biodiversity. Effective protection relies on legal frameworks, public awareness, and international cooperation to remedy specific risks and sustain healthy animal populations.
