Manas National Park

Habitat loss and degradation : One of the major challenges to wildlife conservation is the loss and degradation of their natural habitats due to human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture. Climate change: Climate change has a significant impact on wildlife populations, altering migration patterns and altering habitats, making it more difficult for species to survive. Poaching and illegal trade: Poaching and illegal trade in wildlife products, such as ivory and rhino horn, pose a major threat to many species and disrupt ecosystems. Over-exploitation: Over-hunting, over-fishing, and over-grazing can reduce populations of wild animals, leading to declines in biodiversity and loss of essential ecosystem services. Invasive species: Non-native species introduced into new environments can have negative impacts on native wildlife and their habitats, often outcompeting them for resources. Disease: Diseases can spread rapidly through wildlife populations and have si...
