Conservation of Wildlife : 
---------------------------------------------------

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 World conservation union ( WCU ) work of wildlife conservation.
