Conservation in India
The diversity of plant and animal life needs to be preserved because of the
immense current benefits and future gains to us. Most of our crop, plants and
domestic,animals are bred from wild relatives and can potentially benefit from
the vast,barely tapped wild gene tool. there are also ethical and aesthetic
reasons for saving wild animals. Plants and animal communities are products
of millions of years of natural evolution.Don't they have a right to survive
and evolve as nature intended them to,at least in some parts of the once-green
earth that we have so drastically modified?
Wildlife conservation is an activity that we humans undertake - not the wild
animals themselves. Therefore, wildlife conservation must involve a human dimension.
the social,economic and cultural dimensions of conservation cannot be ignored
by anyone.

of extinction.There were 14 tigers here in 1973. At the last census conducted
