Wildlife Conservation
Wildlife Conservation in India What is Wildlife? Wildlife means all the flora and fauna, which are not domesticated by humans. It includes animals, plants and microorganisms. Wildlife tours in India is your chance to explore some of the well known tiger reserves and national parks sprinkled across different parts of the country.

Wildlife in India India is a home to rich and diverse wildlife tours because of her wide range of climate, soil, weather and other such factors. Owing to such diversity, equal number of rare as well as threatened animals and plants are found that need to be protected. This leads to the need of much greater wildlife conservation efforts in India. As per the survey India is a home to about 60-70% of the total biodiversity found across the world and about 33% of plant species are endemic. There are 172, or 2.9%, of IUCN-designated threatened species in India. Under this comes the Asiatic Lion, the Indian white-rumped vultures and the Bengal Tiger. This further enforces the need of right wildlife conservation efforts in India. Importance of Wildlife Conservation Due to the growing impact of deforestation, continuous efforts are being made by some anxious animal lovers to protect the endangered species of wildlife as well as those that are on the verge of extinction and thus save the world from running out its green heritage. Wildlife is important for four main reasons: Beauty: By their unique way of existence, wild creatures exaggerate the natural beauty of the earth. Economic value: The financial value of wild species is important to the economies of several nations, as it provides many valuable substances like wood and other plant products, fibers, meat and other foods, and skins and furs. Scientific value: By studying wildlife, scientists have gained valuable knowledge about various life processes and discovered important medical products Survival value: Wildlife helps in maintaining the balanced living systems of earth, which

    Entering the 20th century, America was evolving into a developed, industrialized nation. With this influx of industrialization, more land was being converted to be used consumptively. The American population was rising which required the conversion of lands for settlement, along with the resources to build settlements. An issue associated with an increasing population is the requirement of additional food sources. In America between 1850 and 1910, 190 million acres of forest land was converted into agriculture (MacCleery 2011). The accumulation of these expansions over time drastically reduced the amount of wilderness in the United States. Without regulations and guidelines to protect the natural resources, the American public and conservationists…

    Having to take care of a wildlife animal is not easy. Many of these wildlife animals need a large space of land where they could play, run, and sleep; changing their lifestyle could possibly harm them. It's not easy finding a home where a tiger or bear could possibly live in. Most owners of wildlife animals built their own backyard, which costs a lot of money. Having to buy your wildlife animal food could cost you a ton of money as well. Most of these animals are either herbivores or carnivores so having to always be buying the plants or type of animals they eat could cost you a lot. Since these…

    Hunting and Animals

    Charles Dickens once said, “There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human breast.” I agree with this quote. Hunting is very exciting and fun. However, many disagree with me. No one rides the fence though. You either think that hunting is good or that hunting is bad. What do you believe? Do you think hunting is positive or negative? I believe hunting is good because it helps feed those in need, it helps control the population of wild animals, and it helps farmers who may have animals on their land they want to get rid of.…

    Extinction of Species • Every 20 minutes, the world adds another 3,500 human lives but loses one or more entire species of animal or plant life - at least 27,000 species per year. (Source: PBS) • At the present rates of extinction, as many as 20% of the world's 7-15 million species could be gone in the next 30 years. This rate of extinction has been unprecedented since the disappearance of dinosaurs 65 million years ago (Source: WWF). Habitat Destruction (Source: Animal Alliance, unless stated otherwise) • Human population reached 1 billion by 1800. Over 6 billion by 2000. Conservative estimates predict that our population will reach 9 billion people by 2050 (Source: Population Reference Bureau). • The hourly destruction of an estimated 240 acres of natural habitat is directly attributable to the growth in human populations. • 80% of the decline in biological diversity is caused by habitat destruction. Plight of Rhinos (Source: International Rhino Foundation) • Of the dozens of species of rhino that once roamed the earth, only 5 now exist. • Where there were once over 100,000 black rhinos on the plains of Africa, there are now only 2,707 on the entire continent. • The staggering decimation of the rhino population is due to poaching, to satisfy the demand for the horn for use in Eastern traditional medicines and as dagger handles. • Prices up to US$40,000 a kilo have been recorded for the much prized rhino horn - more than 5 times the price of gold. The African Elephant (Source: CITES) • 5 -10 million African elephants existed in 1930. Less than 1% of that number (approximately 600,000) remained when they were added to the international list of the most endangered species in 1989. • Demand for ivory combined with loss of habitat from human settlement led to these huge declines in population. African Wild Dog (Source: American Museum of Natural History) • Listed as one of the worlds most endangered canids, and the most endangered…

    As students, we are very limited with means to promote habitat conservation in Palawan. Information dissemination is definitely the most available option for us students to promote such a cause. There are, however, more concrete ways to promote habitat conservation. There are several organizations in the Philippines dedicated towards the conservation of wildlife and wildlife habitats. One example is the World Wide Fund for Nature or the WWF. WWF in the Philippines has done numerous projects, which aim to conserve wildlife and biological richness, not only in the Philippines but also across Asia. Another option for students is to contract aid from organizations such as these. Why wouldn’t they help us? Our goal is definitely aligned with theirs, we wouldn’t be asking to get paid or recognized and habitat conservation is a priority in their eyes. There are multiple other organizations which us students can contact to ask aid from, such as the Wildlife Conservation Society of the Philippines(WCSP) and the Kabang Kalikasan ng Pilipinas(KKP).…

    The western black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis longipes) has officially become the next sub- species of Rhino to become extinct. The Rhino, one of four sub-species of black Rhino, was declared extinct this week by the IUCN, five years after the last survey of its habitat in Cameroon turned up no evidence of surviving Black Rhinos. The western black Rhino was once widespread across the savannas of central-west Africa but it has decreased due to hunting in the early 20th century. The population rose again in the 1930s due to conservation efforts, but was to no avail as these slipped away. The population was in the hundreds by 1980 and decreased to 10 by 2000.…
