Biodiversity or Biological Diversity means the variety of different kinds of plants, animals, and microorganisms living in an area. It includes all living organisms and the ecosystems they form.
Conservation of Forest and Wildlife in India
Wildlife Protection Act (1972) was started to save animals and their homes.
Hunting and trading of endangered animals was banned by the law.
National parks and wildlife sanctuaries were created to protect nature.
Special projects were launched to protect animals like tigers, rhinos, lions, and crocodiles.
More animals like elephants, black bucks, bustards, and snow leopards were later given legal protection.
Project Tiger:
Project Tiger started in 1973 to protect tigers from extinction.
Tiger numbers fell from 55,000 to just 1,827 due to hunting and habitat loss.
Tigers were killed for skins and bones used in traditional medicine and trade.
India and Nepal have two-thirds of the world’s tigers, making them key to conservation.
Famous tiger reserves include Corbett, Sunderbans, Bandhavgarh, Sariska, Manas, and Periyar.
