what are the method of conserving wildlife explain each one of them
Answers
1. Habitat management:
THIS INDICATES ECOLOGICAL STUDY OF HABITS AND HABITATS OF WILDLIFE SPECIES, PROTECTION, PRESERVATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF HABITATS, CENSUS AND STATISTICAL DATA REGARDING SPECIES TO BE CONSERVED, ETC.
2. Establishment of protected area:
ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL PARKS, WILDLIFE RESERVES, SANCTUARIES, ZOOLOGICAL GARDEN ETC. SERVES MANY PURPOSES:
(I) TO CONSERVE SPECIES IN THEIR WILD STATE.
(II) TO PROVIDE SCIENTIFIC, EDUCATIONAL AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND
(III) TO EARN REVENUE BY ATTRACTING TOURISTS.
3. Rehabilitation of Endangered species:
UNDER THIS OBJECTIVE, IT IS PROPOSED TO REHABILITATE SOME THREATENED SPECIES OF ANIMALS AS WELL AS PLANTS IN SOME PROTECTED HABITATS OF ITS ERSTWHILE DISTRIBUTION. RECENT TRANSLOCATION OF GREAT ONE-HORNED RHINOCEROS FROM ASSAM TO DUDHWA NATIONAL PARK IS AN EXAMPLE TO CITE WITH.
4. Captive breeding programme:
IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED TO TAKE UP CAPTIVE BREEDING PROGRAMME FOR SPECIES WHOSE SURVIVAL IN WILD IS SEVERELY THREATENED ON ACCOUNT OF IMPAIRED NATURAL BREEDING.
5. Mass education:
FOR ANY CONSERVATION PROGRAMME, THERE IS A GREAT NEED OF EDUCATING PEOPLE TO ACHIEVE THEIR PARTICIPATION. METHODS ADAPTED ARE:
(A) CELEBRATION OF WILD LIFE WEEK EVERY YEAR.
(B) PUBLICITY THROUGH MEDIA AND FILM SHOWS.
(C) HOLDING CONDUCTED TOURS, ESSAY COMPETITIONS, LECTURES, SEMINARS, ETC.
(D) SETTING UP NATURE CLUBS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
(E) PUBLICATION OF WILDLIFE BOOKS AND JOURNALS.
(F) ESTABLISHMENT OF NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS ETC.

what are the method of conserving wildlife explain each one of them
Overview-
Conservation and management of wildlife is a special field of applied ecology that should rank very high in public interest.
Methods of conserving Wildlife
1. Protection of natural habitats of organisms through controlled exploitation.
2) Maintenance of rare species in protected areas such as national parks, santuries etc.
3. Establishment of specific biosphere reserves for endangered plants and animals.

Imposing specific restrictions on export of endangered plants and animals or their products.6. Educating the public about the need to protect and preserve the environment as a long range goal for the welfare of future generations.
Explanation -
The above aims and objectives may be realised by the following methods.
1. Establishment of national parks and sanctuaries including preservation of the original habitats of the organisms.

Conclusion -
1) Conservation of wildlife is of two types – in situ conservation and ex situ conservation. In the former the rare species are conserved in their original habitat where as in the second method the endangered species are conserved in green houses or glass houses if they are plants or in zoos and such other protected areas if they happened to be animals.
2) In conservation of biological diversity National parks and Santuaries have played a great role. Basically there is no difference between a national park and sanctuary. Generally however a sanctuary is species oriented. For e.g., sanctuary for the conservation of pitcher plant or conservation of great Indian bustard etc. In National parks however the basic aim is to preserve the entire habitat with a variety of wildlife such as tiger, lion etc
