| Conservation of Wildlife |
|
| The following measures have been taken in order to conserve wildlife in India: |
| |
 Protecting and improving the natural habitat of the plants and animals. |
| |
|
Proper management of water resources in forests for animals. |
| |
|
Creating national parks and wildlife sanctuaries for safe breeding of the endangered and other species. National parks are areas that are permanently reserved for conservation of natural resources. For example, Kanha national park known for tiger, leopards, etc. |
| |
| Sanctuaries are areas where protection is given chiefly to animals. Locals are allowed to come and collect fallen forest products like firewood. |
| |
|
Species which may become extinct should be bred in captivity at zoological parks and released into the forests. |
| |
|
Social forestry which encourages polyculture (planting of different species) of trees. |
| |
|
Grazing should be controlled in such a way that it does not affect the habitat of the wildlife. |
| |
|
Domestic animals should be segregated strictly from wild animals to keep the latter free from diseases. |
| |
|
Strict laws to be enacted and enforced. |
| |
|
Public awareness to be created. |
