What are the ways to protect wild animals?

As a result of excessive exploitation by humans of many species of commercial mammals, destruction and pollution of their habitat, the number of these species has significantly decreased, and some of them are on the verge of extinction. The measures for the conservation of wild animals are the regulation of the period and the amount of their prey, the observance of the methods of prey, the protection of hunting grounds, and the feeding of wild animals in frosty snowy winters. The creation of protected areas – reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries – gives a great effect in the protection of wild animals. Nurseries are being set up to breed rare species of animals.
