Wildlife includes “Animals like mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes and their young’s and also eggs of birds and reptiles” (Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972). It also includes habitat like land, water or vegetation which is the natural home of any wild animal.

India has a rich heritage of wildlife. In India wildlife has a long history and tradition of conservation. The conservation ethic was observed in Ashrams of our sages which were the seats of learning in the country’s ancient past.

The Vedas include hymns in praise of animals and the Indian Mythology is full of references to several animal-like Gods such as the monkey-headed Hanuman, elephant-headed Ganesh, boar-headed Varahavatar, lion-headed Narasinghavatar, turtle-like Koormavtar, fish-like Matsyavatar, snake-like Shesh Nag, etc. We also learn about snake worship (Nag pooja), eagle worship (Garud pooja), cow-worship (Gau pooja), and vehicle of Lord Shiva (Bull Nandi), vehicle of Saraswati (Swan), vehicle of Lord Ganesh (rat), etc.
