What Gave Birth to This?
WildlifeoPedia, along with many other individuals and organizations, believes that our planet is losing its natural balance and biodiversity. Human activities have inflicted the most devastating impact on Earth’s biodiversity since the mass extinction of the dinosaurs (66 mya). As previously mentioned, WildlifeoPedia's core passion lies in studying and preserving wild animals—from the majestic African lion in its natural habitat to the playful cat in its own garden. I deeply appreciate anyone reading this who shares the same passions and considers supporting a mission that has inspired me since I was just eight years old.

What Is This Problem All About?
Some may dismiss these issues as propaganda; I wish that were the case, but unfortunately, this situation is very real. Earth has not faced a more rapid extinction event since the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Thousands of species have already gone extinct due to human activity. Both groups of scientists as well as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimate that countless species become extinct every year, many before they are even scientifically described or discovered...

Multiple Examples Include:

At WildlifeoPedia, my mission is to create a harmonious world where humans and wildlife coexist peacefully. WildlifeoPedia is dedicated to preserving wildlife on our planet, and your support truly makes a difference. Whether you subscribe, view, like, comment, or become a member, your participation is incredibly valuable in the ongoing fight to protect wildlife and its habitats. Each action you take amplifies our voice and brings WildlifeoPedia one step closer to my goals.

My passion for wildlife has always been at the core of my being; I can’t imagine a life in a world without animals. WildlifeoPedia has significantly surpassed all expectations. Initially, I maybe hoped to have reached 25 subscribers after six months, yet I was amazed to discover that I already had over 500 subscribers within the time frame! This growth highlights how educating people can create a meaningful impact, regardless of whether they subscribe or not.

This passion and support inspired the launch of WildlifeoPedia on January 29th of 2024, which eventually evolved into a wildlife-focused YouTube channel. Alongside raising awareness about conservation challenges, I cherish the opportunity to share the adventures I’ve experienced so far. From showcasing Tiger’s luxurious scratching posts to exploring the breathtaking Irish landscapes and capturing the fascinating behaviors of a hyena clan in Africa, every moment is a story waiting to be told.

In addition to our conservation efforts, WildlifeoPedia is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive community. I aim to eliminate all forms of discrimination, threats, and violence, which is why WildlifeoPedia has introduced Community Guidelines for my channel. Achieving my goals necessitates mutual respect and understanding among all members of the WildlifeoPedia Family.

Ultimately, my dream is to create a world where people, other people and animals can coexist without being excessively disturbed by one another. Together, we can make this vision a reality, inspiring future generations to appreciate and protect the incredible diversity of life that shares my planet.

You could of course also support Wildlife Conservation by educating others or being aware of your footprint. Here are some additional steps you could take to minimize your carbon footprint on our planet:

1. Quit buying fast fashion items, instead, you could try taking a look at the items you can still wear or use in your garderobe

2. Be aware of what food you eat and how it's produced by the manufacturer or ideally, start producing your own

3. Adapt your garden to be eco-friendly, as an example: you could plant extra (native) pollinator-friendly plants & flowers to stimulate the growth of biodiversity in your garden and create habitats for beneficial insects and small animals by adding birdhouses or insect hotels

4. Try using solar energy to power (parts of) your house or car

5. Minimize soil disturbance by practicing no-till gardening. This preserves soil structure and encourages healthy microorganisms

6. Take a look at what you can give a second life by recycling it, like paper you haven't used

7. Separate your rubbish: Consider separating your bins by having (bin) bags for recyclables, organic waste, and general waste

8. Be aware of how your products are produced, like what materials have been used to produce it or how the manufacturer handles any potential waste

9. Choose for brands that prioritize sustainability

10. Conserve energy: Turn off any lights or electronics you aren't currently using

11. Reduce your water usage

12. Participate in local clean-up events where they remove litter from parks, beaches or other public spaces

13. Walk, use a bike or use public transportation instead of a car to reduce your carbon footprint

14. Support environmental organizations, like WWF, IFAW or World Animal Protection

15. Be aware of the latest conservation projects and/or challenges

Many people panic when a bat, insect, or other wild animal enters their home, often reacting with fear instead of compassion. Though I understand where the fear could come from when a huge spider would be crawling around the house, I'd like to tell you that there are often better solutions than killing the animal. Unfortunately, the incident of where an animal enters the house usually leads to the animal being killed or hurt, though it’s almost always an accident when an animal enters your house driven by misunderstanding or panic. In reality, these animals don’t want to harm you at all—they’re usually far more scared of you than you are of them. Bats, for example, play a crucial role in ecosystems by controlling insect populations, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds. Rather than harming them, a more humane approach is to calmly guide the animal outside by opening windows and turning off lights, allowing it to navigate back to safety. Killing these animals not only disrupts ecosystems but is often unnecessary when humane solutions exist. 

Here's a post by Nature and Animals Shared Through Facebook:

''Hello... I'm a bat... I don't suck blood and I don't want to get stuck in your hair.

If I accidentally walk into your house,

please don't hit me with sticks or brooms, it really hurts and I'm very scared.

It was an accident, I didn't want to scare you. If I land, I may not be able to get up and I need your help. Just use a towel to get me out and I'll fly right away, I promise. I eat mosquitoes and many other insects. Our houses are being demolished for other buildings and we only have a few places to shelter. so if I fly into your house, turn off the lights, leave the outside light on and leave the door open, I'll be out in a heartbeat.

Be a human, I want to live too..''

So the next time you see a wild animal in your house, try and think of a different solution first before killing or harming it, you'll be a great member of the WildlifeoPedia Family if you do so...
