Wildlife Conservation Initiatives by Indian Government
In 1894, Rudyard Kipling’s famous collection of stories got published and the rest is history. Kipling’s incisive eyes and 6 years of hard work not only created a composition that excited kids but indirectly boasts the rich wildlife in India. Even though it was just a fable it did show the diversity of animals in the country. To really talk about diversity, India is one of the 17 mega diversities in the world and is home to 7.6% of all mammal, 12.6% of bird, 6.2% of reptile, and 6.0% of flowering plant species. The country also has some of the most biodiverse regions on the planet and it comprises of four of 35 biodiversity hotspots of the world like the Western Ghats, the Eastern Himalayas, Indo-Burma and Nicobar Islands in Sundaland. So far, the country’s wildlife is preserved in 120+ national parks, 515 wildlife sanctuaries, 26 wetlands, and 18 Bio-Reserves, out of which 10 are part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Evidently, this large biodiverse land needs protection, and inarguably conservation is a mandatory measure.
Keeping in view the recent human encroachment, the Indian Government did take effective initiatives to conserve wildlife in the country,
Fisheries Act 1897
Indian Forests Act 1927
Mining And Mineral Development Regulation Act 1957
Prevention of Cruelty To Animals 1960
Wildlife Protection Act 1972
Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974
Forest Conservation Act 1980
Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981
Environment Protection Act 1986
Biological Diversity Act 2002
Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Rights) Act 2006
Not only this, there are a few International schemes and projects that India has signed drafted with its neighbours, Nepal and Bangladesh related to illegal wildlife species trade and conservation of tigers and leopards. Apart from this, there are plenty of other legal, administrative and financial steps that Government of India has taken for effective wildlife conservation in the country. And apparently the success of its some projects and schemes related to Indian Rhinos, tigers and poaching have earned it immense confidence to continue working towards a prosperous and intact wildlife.

as per question i described it deeply...
Since early times, laws have been framed in our country to protect the wild life. Laws were framed to protect wild life in the time of great Maurya King Ashok. Fundamental Duties of citizens and Directive Principles in the constitution also include these things. Parliament has passed a Wild Life Conservation Act according to the recommendations of Indian Wild Life Board. In 2014, there were 503 Sanctuaries, 102 National Parks and 14 bio - reserves. Of these, 22 Sanctuaries, 4 national parks and 1 bio reserve zone happen to be in Gujarat. Some protection schemes are planned for those species which are on verge of extinction.
Project Tiger: This Project was launched in 1973 against hunting and decreasing number of tigers. This was implemented for 9 reserved areas, under which now 48 areas are covered.
Lion Project: There was a time when Asiatic Lions were found up to Iran in the Asian subcontinent. Due to hunting and the reduction in forest area, these lions are now restricted to Gir forests of Saurashtra Peninsula. At one stage, there number had gone below 100. In 1972, a project was started in Gir to protect the Asiatic Lions. As a result of this Project and the timely taken steps, there are now 523 Lions according to the Lion Census held in 2015.
In addition to this, there are other projects also. Major projects among them are 'Hangool Project' for the rare species of Barasinga deer in Kashmir. 'Crocodile Project' for the saline water crocodiles. 'Rhino Project' for the protection of Indian Rhino and 'Snow Leopard Project'.
Wild life conservation is possible only if the society and the Government show firm determination to take steps in right direction. Along with the development, we shall have to be dedicated to confirm our motto of environment preservation.
