Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Wildlife conservation is a critical issue in Nigeria, where rapid urbanization, deforestation, and poaching have contributed to the decline of various species. Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) in Niger State is home to diverse wildlife, but the area faces significant environmental challenges, including habitat loss and illegal hunting. Television documentaries, with their ability to showcase the beauty of wildlife and the importance of conservation, have the potential to raise awareness and inspire action. Documentaries that highlight the ecological significance of local species and the threats they face can educate the public on the importance of preserving wildlife and foster a sense of responsibility toward environmental protection (Ogunyemi & Suleiman, 2023; Musa & Akinola, 2024). This study explores the role of television documentaries in raising awareness about wildlife conservation in Shiroro LGA, focusing on their effectiveness in changing attitudes and behaviors toward conservation.
1.2 Statement of the Problem

This research aims to assess how television documentaries contribute to the awareness and protection of wildlife in the region.
