2 IMPORTANCE OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
Introduction
The Indian sub-continent with its varied geographical spread from
the Himalayas in the north to the Cauvery basin in the south and the
Kutch region in the west to the plains of Assam in East present a
diverse range of environmental conditions for some of the most
magnificent as well as the rarest wildlife species of the world in India
to exist. However, the past few decades have seen the greed and
negligence of human beings working to the detriment of this rich
wildlife. Large-scale poaching and habitat destruction have resulted
in a rapid decline in the population of most of the wild animals and
birds. Some animals like the Indian cheetah due to this are now
extinct. Conservation of Indian wildlife was not given the requisite
importance for a long time. However, the government as well as the
people slowly and gradually understood their responsibility of saving
wildlife in India.
Today, efforts are being made towards wildlife conservation in India,
to preserve this natural wealth. Numerous wildlife conservation
projects have been undertaken in India, both by the government as
well as the NGO’s, to protect the rich wildlife of the subcontinent. The
private sector has also started stepping in as part of their corporate
social responsibility to bring about this change and increase people’s
awareness.
IMPORTANCE OF WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION
Wildlife conservation is applied ecology and may also be regarded as
bio-economy. Wild life conservation is the management and sensible
use of the available natural resources. Governments of India have
passed laws and established national parks, sanctuaries and other
wildlife reserves in an effort to save the dwindling wildlife.
Conclusions
Wildlife habitat and species around the world are facing a crisis. It is
estimated that global warming may cause the extinction of 15–37%
of species by 2050. This is another aspect which needs attention
because we could lose about 1.25 million species. Unlike other
environmental losses, this one cannot be reversed because nature
does not give second chances to biodiversity.
