Since there Habitat is being
destroyed they sometimes destroy

5. Bengal Tiger
ABOUT
The Bengal tiger is primarily found
in India and are only 2,500
remaining, though they have been
spotted in other east Asia countries,
such as Nepal and China. They are
solitary creatures who scent mark
their territory.
Bengal tigers are also the only tiger
species that have been reported to
have all white coloration.
GOVERNMENT EFFORTS
Project Tiger is a tiger conservation
programme launched in April 1973 by the
Government of India during Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi's tenure. The
project aims at ensuring a viable
population of Bengal tigers in their
natural habitats, protecting them from
extinction, and preserving areas of
biological importance as a natural
heritage forever represented as close as
possible the diversity of ecosystems
across the tiger's distribution in the
country. The project's task force
visualized these tiger reserves as
breeding nuclei, from which surplus
animals would migrate to adjacent
forests

7. Snow Leopard
Government’s efforts
In an effort to revive the species
population a special conservation
program is being drafted that will help
save the species and their habitat

mountain ranges of Central and
South Asia . It is listed as
vulnerable on the IUCN red
list,snow leopard’s global

9. Red Panda
About
Red panda is also known as ailurus fulgens
The red panda is a mammal native to the
eastern Himalayas and southwestern China.
It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red
List because the wild population is estimated
at fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and
continues to decline due to habitat loss and
fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding
depression
India identified habitat destruction due to
excessive extraction of wood for fuel as
the biggest threat to the Red Panda
government efforts
Reduce habitat degradation by planting
bamboo, requiring tourist permits, restricting
entry during the breeding season, reducing
livestock that trampled undergrowth, and
improving fire protection. Reduce deaths by
strengthening and enforcing hunting and
poaching laws Government Efforts

11. Lion - Tailed Macaque Government effort
About
The lion-tailed macaque (Macaca silenus), or
the wanderoo, is an Old World monkey
endemic to the Western Ghats of South
India.The hair of the Lion-tailed macaque is
dark- brown or black. There is a black tuft at
the end of the tail, similar to a lion's tail.
To save and restore the northernmost
habitat of the lion-tailed macaque, they
proposed that the forests where they live be
declared a wildlife sanctuary or conservation
reserve, using them as an umbrella species
for conservation. Did you delete snow
