Due to destruction of habitats, Wildlife has main threat. The construction of industries, houses, dams has left fewer areas where animals can breed, nest and feed.
preventing deforestation is an important method of habitat preservation. Planting new forests provides shelter and food for wildlife. By creating wildlife sanctuaries we can protect natural habitat. Habitat can be preserved by preventing deforestation.
planting trees( afforestation ) to create new forest which provides shelter and food for wildlife can also protect natural habitat of animals by creating wildlife sanctuaries.
India has a rich variety of flora and fauna. Man has destroyed them to quite an extent. Animals that cannot adjust to the environmental changes , begin to die. As a result, many animals and birds that once existed on the earth , have perished away.
Some important International NGO's with branches in India are :-
» The world wide Fund For nature ( WWF )
» The International Union For the conservation of Nature and Natural resources ( IUCN )
» The World conservation union ( WCU ) work of wildlife conservation.
The Government has taken various steps to conserve our natural vegetation and wildlife. Some of them are : -
★ Social Awareness programmes .
We have an annual festival in our country wherein trees are planted throughout the country. All people must participate in social awareness programmes like ' Van Mahotsava' by planting saplings in their surroundings.
★ Wildlife Protection Act , 1972.
In country like India, where hunting is considered as an act of bravery, animal head and skin are smuggled to other countries at huge prices. Some body parts of animals are used in Chinese and Tibetan medicines. Body parts of tiger, lion, and black buck are used in making trophies. Wildlife protection act , 1972, provides protection to wild animals, birds, and plants.
★ Special projects .
These have been launched to protect the endangered species, e.g :- Project tiger , presently there are 29 tiger reserves in india, e.g :- Sariska tiger reserve , under the project elephant , there are 14 elephant reserves in india.
★ wildlife Sanctuaries .
These refer to protected areas set up to prevent the extinction of animals. They primarily protect those endangered species of birds and animals that are under the threat of becoming extinct. There are 510 Wildlife sanctuaries in india.
★ National parks .
These are the areas where wild animals and natural vegetation are together preserved. There are 96 national parks in india. e.g ;- Kaziranga national park in Assam, jim Corbett national park in uttarakhand.
★ Bioreserves .
These refers to large areas where the vegetation, wildlife and Environment are conserved to preserve the biological diversity. There are 14 Bioreserves in india. , e.g :- Nanda devi in uttarakhand, Nilgiri in western Ghats.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS :
Wildlife conservation includes all human efforts to
preserve wild animals from extinction. It involves the
protection and wise management of wild species of their
environment. Some species have become extinct due to
natural activities. The progress of man throughout has been
beneficial for the human race but it is the wildlife that has
suffered through the years. Inventions of sophisticated
weapons, industrialization, urbanisation, and even
increasing human population have been some of the major
causes for dwindling of our rich resources. Hunting,
clearing of forests, drawing of swamps and damming of
rivers for irrigation and industry - this is what we appraise
of man's progress. These activities have vastly reduced the
natural habitats of our wildlife and many species are
endangered or nearly extinct.
Extinction is a 'biological reality' for no species has as
yet existed for more than a few million years without
evolving into something different, or dying out completely.
Success in evolution is measured in terms of survival and
failure by extinction. Once a species is extinct because of
natural causes or human activities, it is gone forever. It is
believed that each individual wild creature has a right to
survive without human interference, just as each human
being has the right to survive.
