Compassionate conservation

Compassionate conservation is a way of helping animals that emphasizes treating them with kindness and respect. This means taking care not to harm or cause them pain, even when trying to solve problems related to wildlife management or conservation. People who believe in compassionate conservation try to find ways to live alongside animals in such a way that both humans and animals can thrive without hurting one another. They may use non-lethal methods such as relocating animals or providing them with better habitats to reduce conflicts with people. The goal of compassionate conservation is to promote harmony between humans and wildlife while also protecting species that may be at risk of extinction.
