Wildlife
Conservation
Efforts in India
Introduction
The Indian subcontinent boasts of
serving as the natural habitat of a
large and variedwildlife. The sub-
continent with it¶s varied
geographical spread from the
Himalayas inthe north to the
Cauvery basin in the south and
the Kutch region in the west to
theplains 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.The
beauty and variety we see in the
jungles of India is difficult to be
expressed inwords and I bring
together the breadth through
pictures in this project . However,
thepast few decades have seen the
greed and negligence of human
beings working to thedetriment of
this rich wildlife. Large-scale
poaching, habitat destruction and
conflict withhumans have
resulted in a rapid decline in the
population of most of the wild
animalsand 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 in this context.
Today, efforts are being made
towards wildlifeconservation in
India, to preserve this natural
wealth. Numerous wildlife
conservationprojects have been
undertaken in India, both at the
government as well as the
individuallevel, to protect the rich
wildlife of the subcontinent. The
private sector has also
startedstepping in as part of their
corporate social responsibility to
bring about this change
andincrease people¶s awareness.
The ³Save the Tiger´ campaign by
Aircelwhich isdiscussed here.I am
a wildlife fan and have been to a
fair number of national parks
around the country.In this project
I analyze the threat to wildlife in
India and then extensively report
theefforts of the government,
societies, groups and individuals.

animal lovers to protect the
endangered species of wildlife as
well as those thatare on the verge

greenheritage. Wildlife is
important for four main reasons:
