All you need with good background

1. WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION

2. Bio Diversity of India
● Wildlife of India is a mix of species of diverse
origins.
● India is home to a number of rare and threatened
animal species.
● Home to about 7.6% of all mammalian, 12.6% of
avian, 6.2% of reptilian, and 6.0% of flowering
plant species.
● Tropical rainforest of the Andaman Islands,
Western Ghats, and Northeast India, coniferous
forest of the Himalaya. dry deciduous forest of
central and southern India.

3. WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
Wildlife protection act started in
1972 Wildlife conservation is the
protection of species and habitats
of animals. The banning of hunting
seasons for endangered or
threatened species

4. IMPORTANCE OF WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION
• Beauty
• Economic value- Timber , fur, tusk, ivory,
leather, honey etc Scientific value
• Gene pool for the scientists to carry
breeding programmers in agriculture, animal
husbandry and fishery. Maintain Ecological
Balance Eco- Tourism.

5. CAUSE OF WILDLIFE DESTRUTION

6. EFFECTS OF WILDLIFE DEPLECTION
1.Unbalance food chain and ecosystem.
2.Reduction in rare wild animals
3.Danger to human life.
4.Impacts on bio diversity.
5.Loss of Economic value
6.Loss of genetic information

4. 5. 6.

7. HABITANT LOSS
● Second most
critical factor
in species
extinction
● There is now
20%less forest
cover than
existed 300
years ago

8. HABITANT LOSS AND FRAGMENTATION
● Extensive human demand resulted into Habitat
Loss.
● Rainforests are the main habitats.
● Tropical rainforests are cleared for wood /
timber resources development of petroleum
resources mineral resources for cash-crop
plantations and subsistence farming.
● Overcrowding is one of the major reasons for the
depleting population of wild animals in India.
● Eco-tourism and adventure tourism. Growth in
vehicle pollution Wildlife road fatalities Damage
of the natural habitat of birds and animals.
Increase in wildfires.
● Releasing of chemicals and other toxic effluents
into the water bodies has led to poisoning of the
water.

9. WILDLIFE OF INDIA (PAST)
There were more than
500 species of
mammals1,220 species
of birds1, 600 species
of reptiles and
amphibians 57,000
species of insects

10. WILDLIFE OF INDIA (TODAY)
● The flora and fauna of wild species today is declining
rapidly in India Possible extinction is a possibility for
over 77 mammals, 72 bird species, 17 reptile species, 3
amphibian species" Large amount of butterflies and
beetles which are considered to be endangered. Rapid
growth in industrialization has hampered the
ecosystem and had badly affected the wild animals
Wildlife of India is on the mercy of human beings as the
mortality rate of animals is increasing due to hunting
and poaching.

11. GOVT ROLE IN CONSERVATION OF
WILDLIFE
• Wildlife protection act 1972
• Project tiger 1972-73
• Forest protection act 1980-88
• Anti poaching agencies State wildlife dept
• State forest dept
• Ministry of environment
• Forest Army (IF APPLICABLE)
• Police
• Border security
• Forest Coast guards
• Wildlife conservation society
• PROJECT TIGER1972-73:-is a wildlife conservation
movement initiated in India in 1972 The project aims at
tiger conservation in specially constituted tiger
reserves throughout India.

12. • Over exploitation of forest
• Illicit felling of trees.
• International wildlife trade (1960-1970)
• Nature against nature.
• Encroachment of villagers on forest land
Global warming(30% of all species might
vanish in coming decade)
• Un healthy relations of Govt and local
population
• Local hunting and poaching by villagers
• Unloyalty of forest officials
WILDLIFE DESTRUCTIONS IN INDIA

13. CONCLUSION
● Forests and
wildlife are the
renewable natural
resource and if all
the planned
programs are
effectively
executed, in a few
decades the flora
and the fauna will
start flourishing.
