Nigeria is endowed with a rich diversity of wildlife resources that contribute to the sustainability of the environment, food and livelihood security, human health, the national economy, the maintenance of forest ecological services, and ecosystem health. However, these wildlife resources are under serious threats, and many are vulnerable, even near extinction, due to the increase in population growth, unsustainable exploitation rate, and destruction of habitats, more pronounced as deforestation, inter alia. Wildlife exploitation follows three overlapping trends that include periods of more abundance, sustainable, and non-sustainable wildlife populations. It is saddening to observe that the exploitation of wildlife has always been found in the third phase, where natural processes of regeneration are not able to cope with the overexploitation of high magnitude (FRN, 2015). The outcomes of this are loss, displacement, endangered, threatened, and extinction of wildlife species. It is noted, according to the IUCN Red List 2013, that Nigeria has a total of 309 threatened species in the following taxonomic categories: mammals (26), birds (19), reptiles (8), amphibians (13), fish (60), mollusks (1), and other invertebrates (14). Therefore, the Nigerian government has set up some agencies to enforce wildlife policies to regulate and manage the exploitation of wildlife resources, with an emphasis on the conservation of wildlife populations and habitats and the sustainable utilization of wildlife resources.
