The Issue

Over-hunting is a world wide issue that affects all of us globally. You may not feel the fall out now but soon enough you will. Over-hunting puts serious pressure on wildlife populations and disrupts natural ecosystems that we rely on daily. When Wildlife we rely on to support ecosystems affect biodiversity and health of the land we use everyday and rely on for survival and when our wildlife and ecosystems aren't acknowledged or cared for properly we will be affected and future generations will never be able to see some of the animals around us today and will be greatly affected because of the decline in biodiversity.

 Things like animal products we rely on for medicine and traditional use will be scarce as well as food in remote places will be scarce. According to Enviroment.co Over-hunting affects the “food chain, migration patterns non endangered animals, agriculture” Things like food chains and migration patterns have been going on for millions of years and if we as humans can change that in a matter of a few hundred years we to realize how impactful this is. and this is the reason we must stop hunting. 

We must work together to enforce stronger hunting regulations like limits and seasons, better enforcement of existing laws and creating new beneficial laws to keep hunting sustainable and ethical so species are less affected and populations can still grow in a healthy way. According to Enviroment.co “Humans impact wildlife in numerous ways, but over-hunting is one of the most pressing concerns for some species. Global species suffer from people killing animals for fun or economic benefit, which eventually harms humans too. These factors are everything you need to know about the causes and effects of over-hunting” Another reason on why we need to end this global problem and enforce solutions and educate people so we can end over-hunting and work to keep hunting sustainable and ethical.
