Conservation of Natural Vegetation and Wildlife

Conservation of natural vegetation and wildlife:

·   Forests are our wealth. Plants give shelter to the animals and together they maintain the ecosystem. Changes of climate and human interferences can cause the loss of natural habitats for the plants and animals.

·   Many species have become vulnerable or endangered and some are on the verge of extinction. Deforestation, soil erosion, constructional activities, forest fires, tsunami and landslides are some of the human and natural factors which accelerate the process of extinction of these resources. The animals are poached for collection and illegal trade of hides, skins, nails, teeth, horns as well as feathers.

·   National park, wildlife sanctuaries, biosphere reserves are made to protect our natural vegetation and wildlife. Conservation of creeks, lakes, and wetlands is necessary to save the precious resources from depletion.

An international convention CITES [the Convention on International Trrade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora] has been established that lists several species of animals and birds in which trade is prohibited. Conservation of plants and animals is an ethical duty of every citizen.
