NATURAL VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
To maintain ecological balance of nature and maintain food chain and nature cycles.
It has economic value. Many wild plants provide useful substances like timber, paper , gums etc. And they also have wide applications in Ayurveda and other branches of medicine Wild animals products are tusk, ivory ,leather, honey etc
Most important contribution of wild life for human progress is availability of
Large gene pool for the scientists to carry breeding programmes in agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery
Wild life provides a esthetic value to man.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

5. Introduction
• The planet Earth is the house of millions of living organisms
starting from microorganisms like bacteria to a huge tree like
banyan and elephants.
• The biosphere is full of biodiversity.
• Human beings along with other organisms form a complex web
of ecosystem which is mutually exclusive and all organisms
depend upon each other for their existence. For example, the
plants, animals and microorganisms recreate the quality of the
air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil that produces
our food without which we cannot survive.
• Forests play a key role in the ecological system as these are
also the primary producers on which all other living beings
depend.
6. Flora And Fauna In
INDIA
India is a land of diverse flora and fauna which is
around 8% of the world’s total species. Look around
you and you will see marvel of biodiversity (estimated
to be 1.6 million). This is possibly twice or thrice the
number yet to be discovered. You have already
studied in detail about the extent and variety of
forest and wildlife resources in India. You may have
realized the importance of these resources in our
daily life.
These diverse flora and fauna are so well
integrated in our daily life that we take these
for granted. But, lately, they are under great
stress mainly due to insensitivity to our
environment.
7. Vanishing forests
The dimensions of deforestation in India are staggering. The
forest cover in the country is estimated at 637, 293 sq. km.,
which is 19.39% of the total geographical area. (dense forest
11.48% ; open forest 7.76% ; and mangrove 0.15%). According to
the state of forest report (1999), the dense forest cover has
increased by 10.098 sq. km. since 1997. However, this
apparent increase in the forest cover is due to plantation by
different agencies. The state of forest report does not
differentiate between natural forests and plantations.
Therefore, these reports failed to deliver accurate information
about actual loss of natural forests.
8.
9. Did you know???
About 47,000 species of flora and over
81,000 species of fauna are found in
India. Of this estimated 47,000 plant
species, about 15,000 flowering species
belong to India
Do you know that among the larger
animals in India, 79 species of mammals,
44 of birds, 15 of reptiles and 3 of
amphibians are threatened? Nearly 1500
plant species are considered endangered.
Flowering plants and vertebrate animals
have recently become extinct at a rate
estimated to be 50 to 100 times the
average expected natural rate.
10. Types of Species
The international union for conservation of nature and natural resources
have given us a classification of existing plants and animal kingdom based
on their characteristics and the threat they are facing due to human
intervention and many other specific factors causing their loss:
- Normal Species: species whose population levels are considered to be
normal for their survival, such a cattle, Sal, pine, rodents, etc.
- Endangered Species: these are species which are in danger of
extinction. The survival of such species is difficult if the negative
factors that have led to a decline in their population continue to operate.
The examples of such species are black buck, crocodile, etc.
- Vulnerable Species: These are species whose population has declined
to levels from where it is likely to move into the endangered category in
the near future if the negative factors continue to operate. The
examples of such species are blue sheep, Asiatic elephant, Gangetic
dolphin, etc.
11.
12. -Rare Species: Species with small
population may move into the endangered
or vulnerable category if the negative
factors affecting them continue to
operate. The examples of such species are
the Himalayan brown bear, wild Asiatic
buffalo, desert fox and hornbill, etc.
13.
14. -Endemic Species: These are species
which are only found in some particular
areas usually isolated by natural or
geographical barriers. Examples of such
species are the Andaman teal, Nicobar
pigeon, Andaman wild pig, mithun in
Arunachal Pradesh.
15.
16. Extinct Species: These are species which
are not found after searches of known or
likely areas where they may occur. A
species may be extinct from a local area,
region, country, continent or the entire
earth. Examples of such species are the
Asiatic cheetah, pink head duck.
17. Impact of human beings in
transforming the Nature
Impact of human beings in transforming nature into a store house of
forest and animal resource such as wood, leaves, fodder, fuel wood, barks,
rubber, dyes, organic manure and medicinal plants on one hand and animal skin,
hair, hide, milk (dairy farm) meat, animals used in agricultural and transport
activities.
One of the historical factors causing damage to our forest resource was during
British time when they started expanding commercial agriculture, mining
activity, railways and roadways to exploit Indian resources. It continued to
expand even after independence as our population grew over a period of time.
Data given shows the zone. Between 1951 and 1980, according to the forest
survey of India, over 26,200 sq. km of forest area was converted into
agricultural land all over India. Substantial parts of the tribal belts, especially
in the north-eastern and central India, have been deforested or degraded by
shifting cultivation, a type of slash and burn agriculture.

19. Another biggest factor contributed significantly to the loss of
flora and fauna, have been developmental projects such as big housing
projects of private builders like D.L.F. or Omaxe, multipurpose river
valley projects like Tehri Dam, big thermal power projects like
Badarpur in Delhi. Since 1951, over 500 sq. km. of forest was cleared
for river valley projects. Clearing of forests is still continuing with
projects like the Narmada Sagar Project in Madhya Pradesh, which
would inundate 40,000 hectares of forests. Mining is another
important factor behind deforestation. The buxa tiger reserved in
west Bengal is seriously threatened by the ongoing dolomite mining. It
has disturbed the natural habitat of many species and blocked the
migration route of several others, including the great Indian elephant.
Many ecologists and environmentalists have the opinion that over-
grazing and fuel wood cutting and collection in the forest area have
also degraded our forest resources. Though, there may be some
substance in their argument, yet, the fact remains that a substantial
part of the fuel-fodder demand is met by lopping rather than by
felling entire trees. The forest ecosystems are repositories of some
of the country’s most valuable forest products, minerals and other
resources that meet the demands of the rapidly
expanding industrial-urban economy.
20. Forest and Wildlife
Conservation Strategy
Conservation stand as for active and judicious utilization of natural
resources. It also preserves the ecological diversity and life support
systems teased on water, soil and air. Genetic diversity of plants and
animals for their better growth and breeding conservation is necessary.
The way our Biodiversity has declined over the years it is but natural to
evolve a conservation strategy in India where it can become a mass-
movement. For example, in agriculture we are still dependent on traditional
crop varieties. Fisheries too are heavily dependent on the maintenance of
aquatic biodiversity.
A national level wildlife protection program came into being in the year
1960s and 1970s as demanded by conservation of that time. Setting up of
national park and wildlife sanctuary were one of the steps in this direction.
21. The Indian wildlife Act was implemented in 1972, with various
provisions for protecting habitants.
An all-India list of protected species was also published. The
thrust of the programme was towards protecting the remaining
population of certain endangered species by banning hunting,
giving legal protection to their Habitats, and restricting trade in
wildlife, subsequently, central and many states governments
established national parks and wildlife sanctuaries about which
you have already studied.
The central government also announced several projects for
protecting specific animals, which were gravely threatened,
including the tiger, the one-horned rhinoceros, the Kashmir stag,
three types of crocodiles- fresh water crocodiles, salt water
crocodiles and the GharialsGharials, the Asiatic lion, and others. Most
recently, the Indian elephant, black buck (chinkra), the great
Indian bustard (godawan) and the snow leopard, etc. have been
given full or partial legal protection against
hunting and trade
throughout India.
23. Project
Tiger
Tiger is one of the key wildlife species
in the faunal web. In 1973, the authorities realized that the tiger population
had dwindled to 1,8271,827 from an estimated 55.00055.000 at the turn of the
century. The major threats to tiger population are numerous, such as
poaching for trade, shrinking habitat, depletion of prey base species, growing
human population, etc. the trade of tiger skins and the use of their bones in
traditional medicines, especially in the Asian countries left the tiger
population on the verge of extinction. Since India and Nepal provide habitat
to about two-thirds of the surviving tiger
population in the world, these two nations
became prime targets foe poaching and illegal
trading.
24. “Project Tiger” one of the well-publicized
wildlife campaigns in the world, was launched in
1973. initially, it showed success as the tiger
population went up to 4,002 in 1982 and
4,334 in 1989. but in 1993, the population of
the tiger had dropped to 3600. there are 27
tiger reserves in India covering an area of
37,761 sq. km. tiger conservation has been
viewed not only as an effort to save an
endangered species, but when equal importance
as a means of preserving biotypes of sizeable
magnitude.
Corbett national park in, Uttaranchal, Sunder bans national park in West
Bengal, Bandhavgarh national park in Madhya Pradesh, Sariska Wildlife
Sanctuary in Rajasthan, Manas Tiger Reserve in Assam and Periyar Tiger
Reserve in Kerala in Kerala are some of the tiger reserves of India.
25. Types Of Forests And
Wildlife Resources
The forests and wildlife found in the country are being controlled and
managed by the govt. through forest department. It is rather
difficult to regulate and manage. Our forest wildlife resource without
studying them properly for which they are categories in the following
manner:
(I) Reserved forests: More then half of the total forest land has been
declared reserved forest. Reserved forests are regarded as the most
valuable as far as the conservation of forest and wildlife resources
are concerned.
(II) Protected forests: Almost one-third of the total forest area is
protected forest, as declared by the Forest Department. This forest
land are protected from any further depletion.
26. (III) Unclassed forest: These are other forests and waste lands
belonging to both government and private individuals and communities.
Reserved and protected forests are also referred to as permanent
forest estates maintained for the purpose of producing timber and
other forest produce, and for protective reasons.
Madhya Pradesh has the largest area under permanent forests,
constituting 75 per% of its total area. Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra
Pradesh. Uttaranchal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and
Maharashtra have large percentages of reserved forests of its total
forests are there whereas Bihar, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh,
Orrisa and Rajasthan have a bulk of it under protected forests. All
North-eastern states and parts of Gujarat have a very high
percentage of their forests as un-classed forests managed by local
communities.
27. Role Of Community In
Conservation
Many local and traditional communities are living amidst forest area
for centuries with perfect understanding of the habitat. Over the years
they have evolved their over-conservation methods to protect wildlife
and plants. In some areas they are co-protecting and co-coordinating with
govt. official in this regard to secure their livelihood.
In Sariska Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, villagers have fought against mining
by citing the Wildlife Protection act. In many areas, villagers themselves
are protecting habitats and explicitly rejecting government involvement.
The inhabitants of five villages in the Alwar district of Rajasthan have
declared 1,200 hectares of forest as the Bhairodev Dakav ‘Sonchuri’,
declaring their own set of rules and regulations which do not allow
hunting, and are protecting the wildlife against any outside
encroachments.
28. In Uttaranchal state, deforestation has been a grim problem
causing lots of ecological imbalance, then came a local resident
and conservationist called S.L. Bahuguna who started Chipko
Movement.
It has been a successful community based afforestation
programme. Attempts to revive the traditional conservation
methods or developing new methods of ecological farming are
now widespread. Farmers and citizens’ groups like Beej Bachao
Andolan in Tehri and Navdanya have shown that adequate
levels of diversified crop production without the use of
synthetic chemicals are possible and economically viable.
29. • In India joint forest management (JFM) programme furnishes a
good example for involving local communities in the management
and restoration of degraded forests. The programme has been in
formal
• existence since 1988 when the state of Orrisa passed the first
resolution for joint forest management.
• JFM depends on the formation of local (village) institutions that
undertake protection activities mostly on degraded forest land
managed by the forest department.
• In return, the members of these communities are entitled to
intermediary benefits like non-timber forest produces and share in
the timber harvested by ‘successful protection’. The clear lesson
from the dynamics of both environmental destruction and
reconstruction in India is that local communities everywhere have
to be involved in some kind of natural resource management.
• But there is still a long way to go before local communities are at
the centre-stage in decision-making. Accept only those economic or
developmental activities, that are people centric, environment-
friendly and economically rewarding.
