Wildlife encompasses all undomesticated animals living in natural environments, from the smallest insects to large mammals, across ecosystems ranging from forests and oceans to deserts and tundras. These species play critical roles in maintaining ecological balance, contributing to processes such as pollination, seed dispersal, pest control, and nutrient cycling. Wildlife is also a key indicator of environmental health and biodiversity. As habitats face increasing pressure from climate change, pollution, and human development, the study and conservation of wildlife have become central to ecological research and environmental policy, aiming to protect not only individual species but the complex networks of life they support.
