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 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.
