The importance of conservation of wildlife can hardly be denied these days when hundreds of animals and birds are on the verge of extinction. There is inseparable relation between man, trees, birds and animals. One cannot live without the other. Man gets oxygen, fuel, medicines, honey and other important things from forests which are the natural habitat of birds and animals like tigers, lions, bears, deer and hosts of beasts. These animals which are mostly fierce and ferocious by nature keeping the illegal wood chopper away from the forest. Man, trees, birds and beasts maintain the all important ecological balance in nature. In absence of wildlife, this balance will be seriously distributed and humanity will be at stake. The number of wild animals and birds is getting fast reduced day by day. Poachers encroach on the forest and go on killing animals for their hide, flesh, teeth and bones. And this has already results in the extinction of almost 135 rare species of birds and beasts over the last 500 years. The India Govt. has however, taken a number of measures to protect wildlife. Stringent laws prohibiting illegals poaching have been inacted and are being enforced. As many as 53 National Parks and 248 Reserve Forests have been set up throughout the country for rehabilitation of wild animals and birds. In addition, wildlife institutions have been set up in kanha and Dehradoon. But all these measures for proper protection of wildlife is not enough. What is more urgent and imperative for the safety and security of wildlife is the awarness among people at large. They first need to know and understand the fact that their very existence on earth largely depends on the survival of birds and wild animals.
