Human plays vital role for destruction of the wildlife.As the human population grows, people spread out - cities expand and previously uninhabited areas become inhabited. As this happens the amount of land where wildlife can live in peace shrinks and clashes between humans and wildlife increase. Additionally changing land use practices such as forests being cleared by logging (both legal and illegal) or for farming, which destroys a large amount of wildlife habitat. Hunting animals for their personal benefit is another major cause of wildlife destruction. Different animals are hunt for several purpose some for food some for poach. elephants are poached for their tusks (Ivory), rhino's are poached for their horns, Tigers are poached for their skins or for use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and many other animals are also killed illegally for various reasons. CITES aims to reduce this problem by controlling the import or export of certain wildlife based products.
When wildlife and humans share the same environment, there is a potential for conflict to occur.
Poachers lead many animals in critically extinct position yet they are not stopped or they stop.
