Acknowledge presence of wildlife globally

The natural environment is an intricate tapestry woven with diverse life forms, encompassing animals, birds, and creatures, both terrestrial and aquatic, alongside the existence of human beings. Some species are on a gradual decline, facing various threats, while new ones continue to emerge, creating a delicate balance in the ecosystem.
In essence, all living entities coexist peacefully in the world. No creature holds a superior position to eliminate another. Despite the natural predation that occurs for sustenance, there is an inherent understanding that wiping out others is not an option. The distinction between wild and tame beings is drawn based on their physical behaviours or mental emotions, preventing any attempts at annihilation.
However, humans stand apart as the most potent force in the societal hierarchy of living beings. Their physical and mental prowess grants them the ability to categorize and define the characteristics of all living and non-living entities. Recognizing this, humans bear the responsibility of managing the conservation of biodiversity for long-term existence, ensuring the survival of various species.
Across the globe, people heavily depend on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to fulfil their daily necessities. Collaborative efforts are underway to sustain ecosystems and safeguard plant and animal species, ensuring their existence for future generations. As the most influential force in society, humans are tasked with orchestrating the conservation of diverse wildlife and non-wildlife species. Everybody needs to comprehensively understand that all living wild or tamed beings have a chance for their presence worldwide and that the world is home to all without exemption for anyone. They all have to sympathize with the survival of others.
Aligned with the 2024 theme for World Wildlife Day, “Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation,” it is imperative for humanity to devise comprehensive plans that emphasize the compassionate conservation of flora and fauna using digital technology. Simultaneously, urgent attention must be directed towards combating wildlife crime and human-induced threats that have far-reaching economic, environmental, and social repercussions.
While technological advancements have undoubtedly enhanced various facets of wildlife conservation, including research, communication, tracking, and DNA analysis, challenges such as unequal access, environmental pollution, and unsustainable technology use hinder the achievement of universal digital inclusion by 2030. Balancing the scales and ensuring the well-being of the global ecosystem requires a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and digital innovation to safeguard the rich tapestry of life on Earth.
