The rapid decline of wildlife, including lions, zebras, giraffes, great apes, and gorillas, is a bleak picture of the lack of care we give to the wildlife we share this planet with. Illegal hunting and lack of resources and manpower to police protected areas are blamed for the losses. Wealthier countries should do more financially to help preserve these noble animals. This could be our last chance to save the last huge inhabitable areas of wilderness on planet earth.
