It is necessary to know Current scenario about wildlife protection and conservation at national and international level. Habitat conservation is the key solution to conserve biodiversity. Lot of efforts has been done to encourage forestation and decrease deforestation and practices has been done in many areas. Similarly by discouraging the pet trades, over shooting as well as hunting by applying different banes, marine pollution by different laws and regulations, and public awareness are the main concerns. Keywords: Current trends, wildlife, conservation, biodiversity, habitat Introduction In current scenario conservation of biodiversity is a great challenge. It requires collaborative Global efforts for success in modern changing world. There is a great need of different planning strategies for protection, conservation, and minimizing the loss of natural resources. Indication of conservation targets or endpoints and warning with site-specific greatly enhance the success rate of conservation (Romañach et al., 2016) [19] . Objectives  To evaluate the current threats to wildlife  What are the recent attempts has been done for conservation of wildlife?  Highlight the possible efforts should be done for saving wildlife in next future. Main causes of extinction and endangerment 1) Loss of Habitat and fragmentation 2) Wildlife Trades by National and international concern  Coral reef Trade  Pets Trade  Body parts Trade  Trade for biomedical research  Bushment trade 3) Other causes  Global warming /climate change  Pollution  Introduction of invasive species  Farmer/Rancher shooting Currently, in Asia wildlife species being removed or else due to human persecution at alarming rate. More recently conservation and ecological researches published in principle journals is biased in the direction of study sites based intemperate and wealthy countries (De Silva, 2016) [7] . Southeast Asia is recognized as one of the hottest of the world's hotspots of endangered biodiversity (Edwards et al., 2011) [10] . Main threat for Asian wildlife is Critical habitat loss and hunting. So, for protection conservation and management of wildlife, longitudinal research is very necessary especially in the case of illegal and legal trade, and to know about the basic population dynamics, related to long live species (De Silva, 2016) [7] . Loss of Habitat and fragmentation The greatest threat to biodiversity is habitat loss (Segan et al., 2016) [22] . During the last two centuries human population increase rapidly so in order to meet their requirements land, farming and urbanization an important amount of natural vegetation was degraded which leads
