The Lost Ones

Welcome to "The Lost Ones"

This project is dedicated to remembering animals that have been lost forever due to human activities. These species once thrived on our planet, contributing to the balance of ecosystems and enriching our world with their unique traits. Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction, hunting, pollution, and other human impacts, they no longer roam the earth.

Our goal is to honor their memory, raise awareness of the causes behind their extinction, and inspire action to prevent further loss. By learning about the past, we hope to protect the future and save other species from a similar fate.

Explore their stories, learn about the causes of their disappearance, and join us in the commitment to preserving the natural world.

What is Wildlife Conservation?

Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild animal species and their habitats in order to prevent extinction. Conservationists and governments around the world work together to protect endangered species, restore ecosystems, and ensure biodiversity for future generations. Major threats to the wildlife includes habitat destruction, degradation, fragmentation, poaching, pollution, climate change and illegal wildlife trade.
