Plans for Wildlife Conservation in India

Abstract

Wild animals and plants are those that survive and even thrive in areas far from human habitation and are collectively known as wildlife. It includes a vast variety of different animals and fungi in addition to all those that are not kept as pets. Forests, prairies, meadows, and deserts are just some of the many ecosystems that are home to fauna, and each has its own species of flora and fauna. However, as civilizations progressed, many previously wild animals and plants were domesticated for human use, with widespread consequences for ecosystems. As a result of human influence, many previously wild animals learned to adapt to their new surroundings and live peacefully in human settlements. Animals in this category include dogs, cats, cows, buffaloes, goats, rats, and a few species of birds. As human activities grew and development took place on a huge scale, it was believed that wildlife and ecosystems were being destroyed. It was found that the use of wild animals for entertainment and economic benefit was on the rise.
