One the most efficient, effective and simple way to decrease the overhunting rate is enforcing stricter laws and rules. These policies should stop the exploitation of animals in several ways such as illegal animal trading and poaching, and the manufacturing of products that contain parts of endangered species. These laws will aid in growing and preserving species that have a dangerously weak population such as tigers and elephants. These laws can incorporate restricting the amount of destruction created to animal habitats, which is a dominant factor that results in overhunting.
Social media is a huge part of our contemporary modern lives. The internet, social media and other social platforms are essential ways to inform citizens about the environmental effects of overhunting. Social media helps us communicate and influence others, create global campaigns, and is a crucial part of creating awareness about numerous global issues. Through the use of such media platforms, we can document and spread information to people, agencies, and authorities rapidly, which would bring immense social awareness to global issues such as overhunting. Social media and other social platforms can additionally educate people across the world about what species are endangered, and what nature of steps they can take to help positively contribute to this global issue.
Recreational parks, wildlife refuges, and conservation areas are places where you citizens can volunteer to protect the habitats and important species. By volunteering, you can help keep these animals and their habitats safe. You can help by planting trees and creating habitats for small species such as squirrels, lizards and snakes, and frogs. These types of species usually die when their natural habitat is destroyed due to deforestation, and come to wildlife refuge parks to seek new habitats and more food. Volunteers in conversation parks can also set up events such as feeding small and non-dangerous animals and planting native flowers which will help preserve several species that are protected in those areas.
When animals are over hunted, they are usually slaughtered for food supply, or products with economic value such as leather, wool, types of plastic, and animal byproducts. When consumers boycott products with animal parts from endangered species, the manufacturing companies won’t be able to survive the business without the revenue from those products. Eventually, this can help shield the thousands of animals that are endangered and are on the verge of extinction and will spread a global message that will effectively help those endangered animals not to be hunted.
