Because forest and wildlife have an intrinsic value that is not considered when making decisions on land usage.

We need to all the forest, because animals gets the benefit from it. Because they should live, and because the forest is their home. It's their rights. And saying that would make people say "Is that all? What do I care". We should care, because they are the very reason why trees grow, thus giving us the materials we need to build our house, and other furnitures. I'm talking about woods.They are also they reason why there are fruits. Bats(and most of them) eat fruits and drop them at the floor, then new trees grow. Most of those trees, will become big and yield a lot of fruits that WE EAT.
People are lazy, so you cannot rely on them to spread seeds around. Okay, some animals are plainly just part of the food chain. They help too. There are very few people in a forest or even none. Thus the plants rely on animals(wildlife) to get Carbon Dioxide. It's a perfect place to live for animals, and perfect place to get food and wood, as long as we do something as exchange for those lost.

Forests and wildlife provide us with natural, renewable resources.

The practice of sustainable forestry manages a dynamic forest ecosystem which provides ecological, economic, and social benefits for present and future generations.

Game and non-game wildlife all depend on a well managed forests to protect a wide range of habitats.

Forests are also fundamental to the quality of the places in which we live.

Because after humans have eradicated themselves, the next species to take over the planet will probably come from the forest and wildlife camp.

It would be a shame to eliminate our potential successors in the planetary hierarchy.

There are many methods for forest and wildlife conservation. They work hand in hand. Ways that you can help wildlife is by planting or managing trees for food sources. An example could be planting or managing for whitetail deer by planting oak trees for their acorns, as well as using controlled burning and reducing the basal area in order to allow sunlight to reach the forest floor for things like grasses to grow during the summer for alternative food services. You pretty much have to educate yourself for the particular species and adapt and manage the site in order to satisfy the requirements of that species. In managing forests, many do not understand that when just letting nature take its course, they allow things like disease to take its course. When the human element is introduced in any sort of way it inhibits the "natural" aspect. Diseases and insects are easily introduced by humans by merely camping in an no management area. Thus, by the no management approach a site is opened to all of the problems such as the Emerald ash borer. When widespread diseases hit it can harm the wildlife and the forest, ignoring problems like this does not conserve the areas, it only hurts them. There are healthy and smart ways to manage forests that actually help the overall health and promote wildlife habitat. Many of the forest managers who have scarred the land by thinking solely from a pocketbook frame of mind have seriously hurt the public view of forest managers. These people have seriously scarred the landscape of America and have not used wise management practices to protect it. There are ways in which to create a healthy and wildlife friendly forests while still creating monetary income using methods that minimize injury to the trees or landscape of the forest. There are also programs through the NRCS, which is a division of agriculture, that help with incentives such as the WHIP program or the CRP program that actually give people monetary incentives or cost sharing program that helps to pay for the management and implementation of tree planting and such that promote wildlife on land that would further just be dormant or dead space.

Well for one they are far more amazing and less self-destructive than people. As for a purely selfish human perspective, as I'm sure your coming from, a loss of biodiversity would seriosuly affect our food supplies. Bee's are perhaps the most important thing in our nations food supply, and wild colonies are dissapearing, as well as bee keeper raised ones. Not to mention fish, which obviosuly support economies in poor countries all over the world, and the larger countries, such as the members of the G8, are overfishing the stocks to the point where the stocks are crashing.

Because trees and plants product oxygen and take in carbon dioxide which helps us breathe and keeps the lungs clean. Also, who wants to live in a world with buildings and such...I love trees and lakes...its makes the world look beautiful and keeps balance in check. As for wildlife, we are the highest form of animals and yet we don't want to help the others. Animals have their place here just like we do and we need to preserve what we have left.

I teach environmental education so I'm one to help people learn on what we need to take care of.

forests take CO2 out of the atmosphere and act as vast carbon sinks. biodiversity. haven't you seen medicine man? we might find a cure for a disease in some forest floor bacteria. mainly, we evolved with forests and wildlife. we may be codependent in someway not yet seen. the earth is system with extremely complex connections that we do not yet fully understand.

Because our environment and everything in it (trees, plants, animals, and even people) have developed over time to be pretty much in balance, but when we go around screwing up this balance, the world stops working. If we kill the natural predators of deer, for example, we'll have an overabundance of deer that will invade our backyards and destroy the trees. It's all interconnected, so if we mess around with that, it's like randomly removing parts of a car engine. It won't work anymore, and it may just explode.

Because we as humans are slowly destroying all animal habitats and then killing them off because they are doing something that bothers us or affect our lifestyle when they are tiring to survive in “our” world.
Plus trees= oxygen (for the forest part)

Take for example, the wolfs that everyone wants to kill off up north (in America). Just because they go into farm lands to get food for themselves already people decided that they are a bother and should be killed off. We are the ones who destroyed their food source and habitat in the first place. There are fewer wildernesses in this world now and more and more animals becoming endangered because of our inconsideration to all life on this earth. Most of our way of dealing with problems such as this is to get rid of the problem with guns and traps. When in fact those farmers should think about building better fences. All animals have feeling too. They also hunger as well. It’s not their fault that they are going extinct, it’s ours. So it’s our responsibility to make sure they don’t. I would like to see snow leopards (which are now rare and endangered) when I’m old and gray, wouldn’t you?
