It is important to create profiles and keep inventory on different species. Not only is important because we could be introduced to new species. It is also very important because we need to know where the numbers are increasing and decreasing to know why and what we can do to help.
Creating an animal profile allows us to know about the animal, its habitat, where it’s generally found, what it eats and many other things. This information is very important to know and have access to. It is important for your own safety as well as the safety of the animal. It allows us to recognize an animal, know its habitat and leave it be. Along with profiling it is very important to keep a good inventory of the different species. Inventory is important for many reasons but one of the main ones is keeping them off the endangered species list. It allows us to know how many of one species there is and gives us a chance to protect the habitats of these animals and allow them to repopulate. In my opinion we could be using this information to know and better protect the animals in our area. A lot of the times this information is overlooked, and it isn’t until the animal is endangered that we try to solve the issue.
Creating a profile and knowing animal inventory is always important. It is important to know where species are inclining and especially declining. Given this information we can protect habitats and create protected habitats to allow the animals to repopulate.
