Wildlife Conservation Efforts in India Introduction The Indian subcontinent boasts of serving as the natural habitat of a large and varied wildlife. The sub-continent with it’s varied geographical spread from the Himalayas in the north to the Cauvery basin in the south and the Kutch region in the west to the plains of Assam in East present a diverse range of environmental conditions for some of the most magnificent as well as the rarest wildlife species of the world in India to exist.

and collapse of basic wildlife protection capacity during the last decade. This “mission-drift” has resulted from several causes: lack of political will‚ deterioration in the quality of forest administration‚ and the influence of international conservation paradigms that blindly promote “sustainable use” as a solution‚ while failing to recognize the overexploited status of the forest resources targeted for such use. What‚ in your opinion‚ are the most urgent threats to wildlife? By far the

status of wildlife conservation in different states. The first was the of Wildlife (Protection) Act‚ 1972 as a unified piece of legislation. The legislation interalia requires the creation of the post of Chief Wildlife Wardens and Wildlife Wardens in the states to exercise statutory power under the Act. The states have to set up state Wildlife Advisory Boards‚ on the lines of the Indian Board for Wildlife as the apex advisory body to advise the State Government on the conservation of wildlife. The

Water Conservation Water conservation is important because we depend on it. So many of our daily activities‚ like bathing or flushing the toilet‚ require fresh water. Our body even needs water to function correctly. Seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface is made up of water. Ninety-eight percent of it all is salt water‚ leaving only two percent as fresh water. More than half of the fresh water is permanently frozen in glaciers or is in the form of snow. That leaves just a tiny

The concept of biodiversity is important in building awareness‚ knowledge‚ information‚ ethics‚ and other complex mixture of agriculture‚ protected areas‚ etc. Figure 1 shows how these fit into the society together to achieve a common objective which is the conservation of biodiversity‚ sustainable use of biological

It can begin simply by turning off a light switch as someone leaves a room or unplugging a device when not in use. From these small acts‚ the beginning seeds of energy conservation can be sown. Energy conservation has become one of the most hotly debated subjects in the world. Old power plants are struggling to keep up‚ sometimes causing power shortages or “brown outs”‚ and new power plants are being built‚ but most of the new plants still use the same technology as their predecessors.

Lab 5 Conservation of Momentum and Energy Abstract The physics laws governing conservation of momentum and mechanical energy were investigated by performing multiple experiments with differing conditions. Conservation laws state energy is to be conserved in systems with no net external forces. Two trials consisted of inelastic collisions and two trials consisted of elastic conditions. Photogate software helped decipher initial and final velocities in order
