wildlife definition and meaning

What is "wildlife"?

Wildlife refers to all living organisms that are not domesticated and exist in their natural habitat, including but not limited to animals, plants, and microorganisms. It includes a diverse range of species that inhabit different ecosystems, such as forests, deserts, oceans, rivers, and grasslands. Wildlife plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the planet and provides various benefits, such as pollination, nutrient cycling, pest control, and food production. Unfortunately, due to human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, hunting, and climate change, many wildlife populations are threatened or endangered, making their conservation and protection crucial for the long-term health of the planet.
