Wildlife farming

Wildlife farming is a way of raising animals that live in the wild, like crocodiles, snakes or deer, in a controlled environment, like a farm.

Imagine that you have a special place in your backyard where you bring animals that are found in the wild. You give them food, water, and a clean place to live to make sure they are healthy and happy. That's what wildlife farming is all about.

People do animal farming for different reasons. One reason is to produce meat, like when we raise cows, pigs or chickens. Another reason is to make and sell products like fur and leather which we can get from some wild animals.

Using wildlife farming means that it's easier to keep track of the animals and make sure they don't cause harm to people or the environment. It also helps to decrease the number of animals taken from the wild, so they can live and thrive where they belong.

So, wildlife farming is like having your own zoo, but instead of just having fun, it's also a way to make sure some wild animals are well taken care of while also being able to use some of the resources they provide.
