There are so many incidents of the killing of wild animals in the
State of Palestine. Often we hear or see in the news about the
brutal killing or road-kill of wild animals. Some of the wild
animals in Palestine are already on the verge of extinction. If the
population of animals kept on decreasing, some species will
become extinct. One of the problems we are already facing is
poaching, and we have to fight against it to save our fauna. We
hear and see always brutal and insensitive animal torture
incidents happening in Palestine by the villagers and even citypeople.
Wildlife populations depend on their environment or habitat to
receive the basic needs for survival. An ecosystem or habitat
provides populations of wildlife with food, water, shelter and
space. If all four of these basic needs are not available in a suitable
arrangement, populations of wildlife cannot exist (University of
Illinois Extension).
All populations of living things are interrelated. When one
population of animals or plants increases or decreases, other
populations of living things is also affected.
The amount of suitable habitat for a species of wildlife will
determine the number of animals that can survive in the area.
