Abstract

![CDATA[Social media can be helpful in creating awareness about environmental protection and particularly wildlife conservation in the wake of anthropogenic climate change (Meribe, 2017), however certain detrimental trends over social media have been emerged that may lead to smuggling of endangered species and even death of wild animals (Binney, 2017). Humans and wild animals face the same challenge of catastrophic climate change.Now, the role of social media becomes imperative for the conservation of wildlife amid climate change in those countries which are badly affected by climatic degradation and Pakistan has been facing catastrophic consequences of climate change.]]
