Why is conservation of wildlife very essential ? Explain.

Solution
Special efforts are being made to preserve endangered species of birds and animals. Periodic census is undertaken to find out the latest position and trends in this regard. The Project Tiger has been a great success. Now we have 25 tiger reserves in various parts of the country. Likewise, Rhino Project is being implemented in Assam. The Indian Bustard of Rajasthan and Malwa plateau are yet another endangered species. Even the number of lions had been dwindling for a long.

Steps have been taken for the protection and conservation of the great biological diversity of our land. Under this scheme, the first bio-reserve has been set-up in the Nilgiris. It consists of 5500 km area and is spread at the tri-junction of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala states. There are thirteen such zones to be under such programme. The country has 89 national parks, 49 wildlife sanctuaries, 35 zoological gardens covering 1,30,000 sq. km area. Conservation of wildlife is essential in order to protect the endangered species of birds and animals as also to maintain the ecological balance. Government of India has so far set up thirteen biosphere reserves.
