Wildlife Conservation-Save The Animals

Wildlife Conservation is aimed at preserving the living creatures i.e animals in their natural habitat. Efforts are being made worldwide to protect these species by creating special forest areas protected under Wildlife laws. Nature has always helped in flourishing the mankind. But this isn't about what nature gives to you, its what you, as a human being give back in return.S aving the endangered species and taking necessary actions for those who are on the brink of extinction is the need of the hour.Every one loving nature should join hands with the wildlife organizations to save mother Earth!Some of the projects and wildlife conservation programmes in India include Project Tiger, which has been till now the most successful one in protecting and preserving the tiger population. There is the Gir National Park in Gujrat, which is only habitat existing for Asiatic lions in India. The Kaziranga National park in Assam is another remarkable example of saving the endangered one-horned Rhinoceros. There are Rajaji National Park and Corbett National park in Uttarakhand conserving the Wild Elephants,Nilgiri Tahr in western ghats and the Dachigam National Park J&K doing the same to save the Hangul or Kashmiri Stag and many more.For detail see.

The natural projects and programmes started by the Indian government such as Project Tiger, Nature Camps and Jungle Lodges have been organised to promote wildlife awareness among the people. These projects not only help in preserving our natural heritage but also encourage eco-tourism.The national park system supports some of the most crucial ecosystems and biodiversity remaining in this country. Over sixty percent of the endangered species are present within our national parks. The habitat preserved within park boundaries affords many species an oasis of survival and some of the last bastions of intact ecosystems found today.

Organisations like Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN) believes the best way to save endangered animals is to support conservation entrepreneurs who work in cooperation with local communities. The Wildlife Conservation Programme aims to gain, support and develop the skills and networks of budding generations of young conservation professionals. This can be achieved by the virtue of a comprehensive system of advice, training and financial awards. The initiative is the result of a unique confluence of ambitious streams between four leading conservation organisations, BirdLife International , Fauna & Flora International (FFI) , the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Conservation International (CI) , and BP. The Programme is now in its 18th year, and first year with WCS and CI as partners, and has supported a total of 210 projects in 64 countries.

THREATS TO WILDLIFE

Climate change: Those modern modes of life that keep our homes toasty warm and our automobiles moving are also indirectly affecting global climate change. The burning of these fuels-coal and oil, for example-results in an accelerated rate of global warming, a trend that scientists say will decimate an ecological catastrophe on temperatures, storm systems, and precipitation, which in turn will gravely affect habitat and migration patterns.see global warming.

Wildfires: Seemingly innocent campfires have been started by visitors in various national parks which can blaze out of control and grow into menacing, habitat-devouring wildfires in no time at all. This summer alone, wildfires in the western United States ravaged hundreds of thousands of acres of pristine forestland. Hence, wildfires can turn out to be fatal and can damage the natural habitats too!

Increasing tourism:- The carrying capacity of the wildlife parks has considerably increased. Eco- and adventure tourism have reached an all-time high in popularity. Attendance rates at some of the best-known national parks have soared in recent years, bringing with them increased vehicle pollution, wildlife road fatalities, and damage to precious habitat. People have started moving towards these national parks as the ultimate tourist destinations. Besides this, the wildlife in these nature parks is blooming.

Human population- Ever increasing human population is putting pressure on wildlife parks and hindering conservation efforts.
