Conservation of Forest and Wildlife in India
Conservation is a process that seeks the sustainable use of nature by humans and preserves the ecological diversity and our life support systems – water, air, and soil. It helps in preserving the genetic diversity of plants and animals for better growth of species and breeding. Some steps taken by the government in this direction are:
- The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act was implemented in 1972 for protecting the habitats of wildlife.
- Several projects were started by the central government for protecting specific animals, which were gravely threatened, including the tiger, the one-horned rhinoceros, the Kashmir stag or hangul, three types of crocodiles – freshwater crocodile, saltwater crocodile and the Gharial, the Asiatic lion, and others.
- For the first time in 1991, plants were also added to the list, starting with six species.
