Conservation in Crisis: Exploring the Challenges and Solutions for India's Wildlife

Abstract

Wildlife conservation in India is a critical effort to preserve the country's diverse ecosystems and protect its rich biodiversity, which includes iconic species such as tigers, elephants, and rhinoceroses. India has established a robust legal framework, including the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 and Project Tiger, which have contributed to the creation of protected areas like national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Despite these efforts, challenges such as habitat loss, poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change persist. To address these issues, India emphasizes community involvement, eco-tourism, and collaboration with NGOs to create sustainable solutions, ensuring the survival of its unique wildlife for future generations
