Are wildlife preserves good or bad?

i am doing a speech on the pros and cons of wildlife preserves for class thought it was an easy topic and it is harder than i thoughtAre wildlife preserves good or bad?
The pros are fairly straightforward - a small piece of the environment is saved, and hopefully some of the species of wildlife it contains.





However, the danger is that the buffer zone of habitat around the edge is devalued and no longer looked upon as important. Habitat degradation and development then marches right up to the edge.





People's attitude can change - they think that the job of conservation is done.





Also, it is unlikely that the reserves are large enough to support sustainable populations of various species.





We need a good network of reserves, good corridors of habitat to allow free movement of wildlife and better general environmental protection for all areas.Are wildlife preserves good or bad?
They can be a good thing , but this one time i saw on this documentary on tv were i saw this really poor african woman in africa get arrested and taken to jail because she killed this goat-like animal ( i don't remember what it was ) to feed her kids because she had no food to give them nor a job to get money to buy them food ... so i think they are a good thing because they help preserve our planet but they should also try and help all the ppl that depends on hunting , foraging or cultivating the places that become protected before they just say you can't feed your family from here anymore
If a creature is a part of where it lives, then even if you preserve animal species in a controlled unnatural environment, the whole ecosystem gets tipped.





Think of it like this: What if the sea levels rose slowly to where sharks who are sophisticated figure how to capture some hand-fulls of us in those little snow globes under the water...would we really be human without the land. I doubt we would be fulfilled...
If they are designed to preserve indigenous life they are great if ';things'; have to be introduced issues can arise,
There are no cons.
